It does work with wmii-hg, but I can't get ruby-wmii to work with it for some reason yet (haven't tried rumai yet either) Thanks for the help, I'll keep trying.. --y signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

My habit to use only "released stable" releases caused me to get used to wmii-3.6 + ruby-wmii a couple of months ago. I am now trying to move on, to wmii-hg + rumai, but having a hard time getting used to the defaults there. If there is someone out there who has a wmiirc that uses rumai but resembels ruby-wmii, I'd be delighted to know about it.

[dev] multiple fonts in wmii
Hi there, Can wmii support multiple fonts? This way if glyphs are not found in the first font, the next one is being searched. I am looking for some functionality along the lines of http://pod.tst.eu/http://cvs.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.pod#How_does_rxvt_unicode_choose_fonts (yes, this link actually works). Most fonts do not contain the glyphs for my native language, so I am ending up with blank squares instead. If I modify wmii font to one that contains native glyphs, the latin letters are just ugly.. OTOH, shouldn't fontconfig do this (select matching fonts by language) by default? it obviously is not the case in my setup, and I couldn't find any docs on how to make this work the way I expect it to. --yuval signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Running $ wmiir xwrite /ctl font 'xft:Arial' presents the Hebrew characters correctly (in windows title, and mpd status area), while $ wmiir xwrite /ctl font 'xft:terminus-10' presents just white boxes instead. So I try: $ wmiir xwrite /ctl font 'xft:terminus-10,xft:Arial' but no change from previous (white boxes). I also tried not using xft for the first font: $ wmiir xwrite /ctl font '-*-terminus-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1,xft:Arial' but they all give the same result. I've tried to run urxvt with the same settings, and it seem to work fine: $ urxvt -fn '-*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,xft:Miriam Mono CLM' (in testing the terminal, I used a mono-spaced font - but all fonts give the same result). I must be missing something? my wmii version is hg2582, and I am using rumai on top. ן, --yuval signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I don't know much about xft, but readin http://fontconfig.org/fontconfig-user.html, it mentions that commas are used to specify lists of values, like 'xft:terminus-10:lang=en,ja'. If someone knows how to specify a list of fonts to xft (maybe even a font per language?), it might help - I couldn't get it from the docs. > Second, it seems that Xft isn't as smart as I thought > it was.

I glanced at urxvt's code, and it does seem it goes to great length to display the correct characters (well, as much as you can understand from reading C++ code), and I understand your rejection from this amount of code and complexity. it does not have a good gain/effort ratio. I haven't even asked about right-to-left support, but I am going to give up before that :) --y signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
[dev] [wmii] [rumai] view last tag
In rumai, is there a way to view the last tag viewed? It happens quite a lot that I am switching between two tags regularily, so that a "view last tag" key can be very useful. This existed in wmii-ruby, but I can't figure out how to do it in rumai. Thanks, -- yuval signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
