  Bold

   font:
     normal:
       family: Hack Nerd Font

2. Make sure these lines are in ~/.config/nvim/init.vim:

" Italicize inline comments, set after colorscheme and one#highlight
highlight Comment cterm=italic gui=italic
" Italicize whole line comments
highlight vimLineComment cterm=italic gui=italic

iTerm

1. Create the new terminfo files and compile them as listed in:
   • ./User/pbin-install/terminfo/README.md
2. Configure iTerm settings as listed in the README.md of Step 1
3. Make sure these lines are in ~/.tmux.conf:

   # 256 color, true color, and italics modes
   set -g default-terminal 'tmux-256color'            # Use screen colors inside Tmux
