[solved] Awesome font and xfce4-terminal

kalsan · 2019-03-20 08:45:14

Hi there!

I'm trying to get powerlevel10k working with awesome font in an xfce4-terminal. I have installed the package awesome-terminal-fonts, but when I switch the xfce4-terminal font to FontAwesome Regular, Italic or Bold, I'm getting the same problem as described in the following Reddit post by another user: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm … ont_looks/

My output for fc-match "Monspace" is: VeraMono.ttf: "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono" "Roman"

While the Reddit user was happy to switch fonts, that's not an option for me, since I really want powerlevel10k with unicode support in the terminal. How can I fix the problem?

Thanks a lot in advance for your suggestions.

fc-list ':mono'

Also ensure to restart the terminal process after installing the font.

Indeed there is no such font as awesome showing up there. Also I cannot find any awesome config in /etc/fonts/conf.d despite the fact that aweseome-terminal-fonts is installed.

Which further steps do I need to take in order to have awesome font available? Please note that I have no font knowledge whatsoever so maybe my question doesn't even make sense.

Because it's not a monospace font.
Looking at their homepage, these are some symbols and meant to "complete" other fonts either by patching them or establishing awesome as a substitute.

/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-symbols.conf will provide the latter but from the upstream source is just a pattern for how to do it w/ a bunch of your fonts.

Damn. Thanks a lot, I wasn't aware that this would be possible. I'll have to figure out how to deal with this.
