Hi. Thank you. I couldn't make up my mind on the 5 and S. They're the same in spap too I think. Let me think about it and see if I can come up with something that works. I tried to make the top part shorter and the bottom longer before but I really don't like that either. I'll dig up the 15 for you too.

Oh, please take your time.

And congratulation ! I still have a long long way to go until I became granpa

Sure, rub it in. Just kiddin. Daughter and grandson are home and doing good!

Anyway, I dug up the last version of the 15 I was messing with and made some additional changes to it. I think it's ok. I might end up adding the 15 back and maybe make a few more small changes. I'm still not sure about a few things. I was already thinking of trying to redo termsyn 15. I have bold and icon versions but not console fonts or iso10646-1 versions yet. It's in my configs if you want to try it out (or anyone else). I tarred it up and it's in the ohsnap folder (ohsnap15.tar.gz). It's the .pcf's and .bdf's. You'll have to install them manually. Here's a screenshot of the 15:

Hey stlarch,

I have an "issue" with your font in grub. Normally, the GRUB2 menu has these thin borders around it. With your font (that I created to pf2 with grub-mkfont as I described a few posts back), these lines don't get printed but instead, it shows questionmarks. It's hard to explain so perhaps it's best if you try it yourself, but I think it's because there's missing glyphs.

I have no understanding of fonts though, so perhaps you can fill me in on why this is happening?

stlarch · 2012-08-26 19:53:06

@Unia, maybe try converting the unicode version to pf2 (ohsnapu), unless you already tried that. I'll read up on it a little and try messing with it when I get some time.

No, I haven't tried that. What's the difference between the unicode version and the other one?

stlarch · 2012-08-26 20:10:07

Well, it's unicode and the other one isn't. It's encoding is iso10646-1 instead of iso8859-1. I just read something that said it should be a unicode font and grub shouldn't have to be able to deal with multiple character encodings, so I'm guessing that it might work but I really know nothing about it.

But what is unicode? I'm a complete noob when it comes to fonts I believe you though, so I'll try tomorrow. Now I'm off to a friend!

stlarch · 2012-08-26 20:48:51

I was just messin with ya. It's basically a single encoding that contains all languages and characters, etc. instead of using different encoding systems that might conflict with each other. The line drawing symbols are in a different place in the unicode versions which is probably why they aren't working. I have to leave here soon too, but I'll try to take a look at it later tonight or tomorrow.

Onyros · 2012-08-26 23:20:34

First of all, congratulations on becoming a grandpa! And second, just had to mention this: been using Ohsnap for some time now - switched from the also glorious Terminus - and absolutely love it. Thank you, so much!

Unia · 2012-08-27 11:09:16

The unicode version gives the same questionmarks as the non-unicode version. But please, take it easy with looking for the cause of this, the grandson and daughter are more important

stlarch · 2012-08-27 14:46:18

Well crap. I guess I'm going to have to upgrade? to grub2 to look at it. I still haven't done that yet and really don't want to. Give me a little time to decide if that's what I want to do right now and if so, I'll try to see if I can figure anything out. I thought that might have been the problem but I should have known that it wouldn't be that easy.

@Onyros, thank you.

Unia · 2012-08-27 15:16:03

Oh no, you don't have to upgrade just to test! I was hoping you'd know a quick fix, but it's not that bothersome (I only see GRUB for 1 second anyway and I'm thinking of hiding the menu completely)

So, thanks, but don't upgrade just to test

Thom · 2012-08-28 23:04:24

This is a pretty font. I love it.

Is there any french accent ?

stlarch · 2012-08-29 03:21:55

Thank you. The iso8859-1 should have most of them and the iso10646-1 (ohsnapu) should have all of them.

ducpfp · 2012-08-29 06:01:08

I modified the "5" to make it looks more distinguished from "S". I do number crunching on daily basis, and snap "5" constantly reminds me of the last son of Krypton.
What do you think ?

And thanks for the ohsnap15 !

Thanks it's work great !

Šaran · 2012-09-01 15:26:28

Congratulations!

I have setup stlarch font as fallback in urxvt for tmux icons and icons in few scripts. Everything was working just fine until today.
I'm getting î instead of icons and eg. echo -e '\uE001' outputs exactly nothing! Icons are still geting displayed in Lemonbar. Same thing happend on my old PC maybe few weeks ago, but I never got to look into it as my sister uses it. In both cases I didn't do anything even close to the font configuration.

Any thoughts?

stlarch · 2012-09-01 15:34:50

What version of urxvt are you using?

Šaran · 2012-09-01 15:40:08

rxvt-unicode-patched 9.15-5

stlarch · 2012-09-01 15:50:44

Maybe you could try the one OK100 made with unicode support? It's in the aur, https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=59525 .

@Thom and ducpfp, I'm glad you got it working. I kinda like the 5 but I'll have to think about it.

@Unia, I will probably hold off for now on grub2. I really need a second computer for a test dummy.

Sure! As I said, it's not a big deal

Šaran · 2012-09-01 15:54:41

No change.

stlarch · 2012-09-01 16:03:28

Is anyone else having the same problem? I'll try to play around with it.

stlarch · 2012-09-01 18:58:32

I'm using rxvt-unicode-patched-9.15-5 too. They show up ok here and work ok with terminus 16, but seem to be getting cut off a little bit when I use terminus 12? I'm not sure what font you're using it with. If they aren't printing at all or are printing the wrong symbol, maybe check to see if something got borked in your locale settings somehow? Otherwise, I'm not really sure. Here's a couple screenshots of what I have:

Here's what I have in my .Xresources:

urxvt*font:              -*-terminus-medium-r-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-stlarch-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
