Is anyone else having trouble getting st to accept font changes?
I've tried numerous strings using xfontsel, many of which work fine
in other terminal programs. Is st support for this limited at the
moment? Thanks.
Could you be more specific? Which font are you trying to use and
what's exactly the problem?
Sorry for being vague. I was under the impression I could use
xfontsel to create an X font name that could then be plugged into
config.def.h. I tried several fonts including inconsolata, terminus,
and dejavu but none of the strings produced by xfontsel are working.
St recompiles successfully, but when starting up after the change I
get a "could not load font...." error and st fails to start.
You're still being vague. What's the exact error message and/or exact
font string you're trying to use?
I just used xfontsel to pick a terminus variant:
-*-terminus-*-*-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1
Changing the line in config.h from:
#define FONT "-misc-*-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*"
to:
#define FONT "-*-terminus-*-*-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1"
changed the font to terminus.
