Package: fbterm
Version: 1.6-1
Severity: wishlist
I want to replace jfbterm (using PCF unifont) with fbterm (using TTF
unifont). Unfortunately, it seems to force 1px padding between cells:
$ fbterm -vs16 -nunifont -- login -f twb
[screen] driver: inteldrmfb, mode: 1024x600-32bpp, scrolling: redraw
[font] width: 9px, height: 17px, ordered list: unifont, DejaVu Sans, DejaVu
Sans Mono, DejaVu Serif
[term] size: 113x35, default codec: UTF-8
In jfbterm I get the same size unifont glyphs, but they're packed a
little more tightly (and look better):
# jfbterm -e login -f twb
$ echo $COLUMNS'x'$LINES
128x37
I can "fix" the width with --font-width=8, but I can't force the
height to 16px instead of 17px. I also tried -s15, -s15.9, -s16pt,
-s16px, -nunifont-16 and -nunifont:pixelSize=16 -- none of which
worked.
I *think* a cheap way to get what I want is to simply patch in a
corresponding --font-height=16 option that sets mHeight.
PS: I'd actually prefer DejaVu + Dotum over unifont, but fbterm
doesn't do antialiasing, so to me ALL outline fonts look crap in it.
