[Solved] What font does Termite use as default?

Ploppz · 2013-10-09 15:16:57

I have used Termite for a little while, and I loved the minimalistic font it used. But when I installed the ttf-dejavu package, it changed to a different font.

The text in the two left-most terminals have the fonts before installing dejavu: http://i.imgur.com/jz9qjMM.png

The font in the config says Monospace 9, and writing fc-match monospace, I get "DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book""

So what is the name of the font that it used initially, before I installed dejavu?

Thanks.

If the config says Monospace 9, than you have the answer.

Monospace is an alias only which links to a font belonging to this particular group(1). So the question should be 'What font families had you had before you installed DejaVu?'

(1) Actually, a list of fonts as found in /etc/fonts/conf.avail/60-latin.conf. The one that has the highest priority--and is found in the system--is picked first.

Still don't know the name of the font, or what to write instead of Monospace 9 in order to get that font in termite.
I removed the ttf-dejavu package and ran fc-match monospace. Output:
12x13ja.pcf.gz: "Fixed" "ja"

Is the font name "ja" or something?

bohoomil · 2013-10-09 16:23:37

Nope, 'ja' is the character set, the font is a bitmap '12x13ja.pcf.gz' that comes with xorg-fonts-misc. If you want to use this one in Termite, simply replace 'Monospace' with 'Fixed' and you should be fine.

Didn't get me the font I wanted :c

The bottom-most is 'terminus', 'Fixed' is the midst, and the uppermost is the desired one.

What bitmap fonts other than Fixed and Terminus are available when you launch xfontsel?

WonderWoofy · 2013-10-09 18:55:05

Just curious… have you tried using something like gtk2fontsel to scroll through and see if you can find this old font?

Thanks, I found it: it is actuall Terminus! But with size 8 instead of 10...

I didn't know fonts could scale like that. I mean it scales without being anti-aliased, keeps being pixel-perfect.

In order to see the font list, you have to click 'fmly': this will present you with all fonts available for Xorg, be it TTF, OTF, bitmap, etc. If you click anything else printed in bold, you will see other parameters to choose from.

BTW, don't forget to append [SOLVED] to the title if the problem exists no more.

Actually there is still a tiny problem: How do I change the font size? I don't find it anywhere in the config file.

Jellicent · 2013-10-09 21:23:40

I think that's pretty easy.
In the config:

font = Monospace 9

for example!

bohoomil · 2013-10-09 21:59:07

It should actually be:

font = terminus 8

Ah! Thanks.
