DWM: Unicode?

Jimi · 2010-07-25 23:53:37

EDITTED: Pics are from when I used awesome, but now I'm back to DWM.

When I used pango patch, I get something like what I did when I used awesome (huge japanese):

It also gave me a ton of extra useless crap like anti alias settings that I don't want.

DWM without pango or Dzen2 output this:
"supercell feat. =i2;%_%/ - Nx$O@oAh"

I'd prefer to avoid pango.

I want it to appear exactly like it does in urxvt/ncmpcpp

I use this one: http://www.suchapara.lad.jp/font/sample/system.html
It's only kana though.

Yes, but I'd like to continue using ProggyTinyTTSZ, but allow the Japanese to be rendered however urxvt is doing it.

So the same font settings do different things? URxvt is a lot smarter with fonts.

Does it work with just fixed though? Maybe something like *-fixed-*-10-*iso10646* for the title bar. If that works maybe the main font isn't giving a compatible setting with fixed.

When I do this, it just changes the font to terminus.

Then I guess it's time to show your theme.lua, isn't it?

It's a long shot, but have you played around with the DPI font settings? Maybe lowering the DPI might get the Japanese font smaller.

I have. Also, I'd like to apologize for making another thread. Just cleaned this one up with all up to date information.

bump - at this point I'll use any bar that supports UTF-8 encoding (dzen2 doesn't)
