"nu" Font [solved]

lifeafter2am · 2010-04-07 03:33:13

A while back there was a topic that had a nice little list of fonts that people liked/used for terminal work. There was a font in there that I used to have on another system called "nu". I cannot for the life of me find that font now. Can someone point me either to the topic or to the font itself?

Thanks!

Hmmm ...... I have that installed, but the font's not showing up in xfontsel.

Doesn't show up in xfontsel here, either. However, a quick

urxvt -fn xft:nu

works just fine.

The problem is that if it doesn't show up in xfontsel then dzen2 doesn't like to use it. I know I had it before (it's in my saved config files), and I swear it was one that I had to install manually. Any ideas?

Nope, sorry.

Although - why would dzen2 balk at using a font that's not in xfontsel? That seems ridiculous to me. (Disclaimer: I don't actually use dzen2.)

The only way I can get dzen2 to use a font is by speficing it the way it is in xfontsel. So for example: -*-dina-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*. There is a XFT version in AUR, maybe I should try that one.

Yep, that worked! AUR-FTW!
