Why is console_opt_overrides ignoring my monospace_font setting?

[UntypedLetter]

I am trying to use it like this in the input.select of my lua script:

console_opt_overrides = {monospace_font="Courier New", focused_back_color="#FFFF00"},

The focused back color is changing but the monospace font is not.

I'm on Windows, and I am able to use this font without any problems for osd-font in mpv.conf which shows that mpv clearly has access to it.

input.select uses --osd-font, not monospace_font.

That's what I thought too. But the manual explicitly mentions a setting called console_opt_overrides which can bypass the usual style.

You're bypassing a style that is not used.

I see. Thanks..
Hmm... so just to be sure... do you mean it's an oversight in the code, or is it a mistake in the manual which sent me on a wild goose chase?
Because, I am wondering why does the manual say it then. Did they intend to incorporate it in the future or something, but haven't done it yet, and the manual writer was over-ambitious or something? 😆

And how do I actually change the font of only this one input.select to a monospace font for text alignment purposes?

There is no oversight or mistake. Overriding monospace_font will take effect when using input.get with completions.

You could hack it by passing complete: true.

Yes, that did it! Thank you @guidocella ❤️ 😄
