Vim: Change bold font weight

802 views Asked by At

Started using a new font in MacVim (FiraCode, paradox theme). This theme highlights some words in bold i.e. gui=bold in the theme file. This worked well with the previous font I was using, I like the bolding, but the highlighting with bold weight with this particular font is too bold IMO.

Is there any way to tell Vim/MacVim to use a particular weight of font for bold highlighting e.g. 500 instead of 700?

Syntax highlighting code with bold being too bold

I have resorted to simply disabling the bold font variant in my system fonts, now Vim seems to just ignore bold, but this doesn't seem like a great solution.
