Hello, I'm trying to watch a video in ASCII art using VLC. My intent is to use aalib through option -V aa, but I get those errors: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/58469
I manged to get ColoredASCII art (-V caca) working with the command:
cvlc -V caca -q --no-osd -f --no-video-title-show --x11-display :1 video.mkv
Unfortunately, trying to use the same command with aalib
cvlc -V aa -q --no-osd -f --no-video-title-show --x11-display :1 video.mkv
I get again
X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont)
Serial number of failed request: 7
Current serial number in output stream: 8

Which xorg-font packages are set up? https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sor … =&flagged=

Thank you V1del, I installed
xorg-fonts-misc
and I no longer get the error. Unfortunately now the option
--x11-display :1
no longer sapawn a terminal window. I installed a lot of packages in the meantime so I don't really know what could be the cause...
UPDATE: I was missing aalib (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/aalib/)
