Forking Monkeytype

First, you will have to make a personal copy of the Monkeytype repository, also known as "forking". Go to the Monkeytype repo and then click the "fork" button.

Adding Fonts

Once you have forked the repository you can now add your font. Place the font file in ./frontend/static/webfonts e.g. My-Font.woff2.

Note

Your font needs to be in the .woff2 format. Your filename cannot include spaces or start with a number.

Open ./packages/schemas/src/fonts.ts and add the new font at the end of the KnownFontNameSchema list like this:

const KnownFontNameSchema = z.enum(
  [
    "Roboto_Mono",
    "Noto_Naskh_Arabic",
    ...
    "My_Font",

Call it whatever you want but make sure you replace spaces with underscores and the font does not start with a number.

Then, go to ./frontend/src/ts/constants/fonts.ts and add the following code to the end of the Fonts object near to the very end of the file:

export const Fonts: Record<KnownFontName, FontConfig> = {
  ...
  My_Font: {
    fileName:  "My-Font.woff2",
  }
