fc-list does list the fonts, but if GuiFont is failing either there is a problem with the font itself (usually different size for different variants), or some issue with the Qt font metrics code.

We keep a little binary in src/gui/shellwidget/fontinfo.cpp that prints out the font metrics reported by Qt.

As workaround you can also force the font using GuiFont! fontname.

How to force the font by using lua?
I use lua vim.opt.guifont="<font-name>" but I got an error like this:

[equalsraf]

The lua code would be

vim.cmd('GuiFont ...')

If you are running this from init.lua instead of ginit.vim, then you will need something like an autocommand for UIEnter.

[hoofcushion]

It seems there is no command called GuiFont

Both :lua vim.cmd('GuiFont') and :GuiFont doesn't work

Am I doing anything wrong?

[hoofcushion]

I got it, nvim_gui_shim.vim is required. and somehow I haven't got one.

Usually you don't need to set it up manually, check its path in https://github.com/equalsraf/neovim-qt#why-are-the-gui-commands-missing

[hoofcushion]

To force the font by using lua, use this lua vim.rpcnotify(0, 'Gui', 'Font', <font-name>, "!").

I checked, and it just wasn't there, I download one from the repo, and everything is fine now, thanks.

[equalsraf]

That sounds like it is looking for it in the wrong place. If you are building from source it would be in src/gui/runtime. If you installed from some package, it sounds broken, where did you install from?

[hoofcushion]

I think it's from the official website of Neovim

1. Install Now
   
2. Redirect to Github Wiki
3. Install from download
4. Latest stable release
5. Windows

I use NotoSansM Nerd Font Mono and is ok. thank you all for your answeres.

[equalsraf]

I assume it is this font https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tree/master/patched-fonts/Noto/Sans-Mono is that correct?
