Hi, Burp should allow you to select any monospaced font that has been installed on your system - is the font that you are looking for monospaced?

yes, but as you can see in the above screenshot there is no monospaced nerd font present. This is the installed font on the system. https://imgur.com/iwaRcDA.png

Hi, Have you restarted Burp since you installed these fonts in order for them to be available for selection within Burp - see below: https://snipboard.io/74h3dz.jpg

Hi, Just to clarify, what is the specific name of the font you are trying to use and where have you obtained the font pack from?

I have downloaded nerd fonts from github and installed it through powershell script. Im Specifically looking for the JetBrains mono Nerd font.

Are you able to use the font in other applications? Did you just install one of the Nerd fonts or multiple ones? Can you confirm the steps you took to install them, please?

I am able to use that fonts in vscode or any other application. I have installed all the nerd fonts using the github. First I have cloned the repo in my local storage and using powershell script(./install.ps1) I have installed all the fonts. The fonts are showing me in the font section of control panel.

Hi, If I obtain the JetBrainsMono Nerd Font collection directly (from here - https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads) and, as an example, install the JetBrainsMonoNLNerdFontMono-ThinItalic font this is then selectable within Burp, as shown in the following screenshot: https://snipboard.io/NxQTtG.jpg There does not appear to be anything preventing Burp from using at least some of these fonts so I am slightly confused why you are having issues.

I have solved the issue. The problem is that the fonts are installing for the local user only. When I install it for all the users by right clicking on the fonts and select install with admin privileges and now fonts are showing in the burpsuite. Thank you for your time and effort. Really appreciate it.
