[RESOLVED] Broken Font Configuration i3 Terminals

Hello!

First time poster here. It appears I recently broke some font configuration without really remembering what I did. I noticed it today when I started a new terminal, and I am not quite sure what happened. I am pointing to a recent AppImage, but am pretty lost so I figured I would ask.

Currently it looks like none of the fonts are not loading properly for only the terminals. The i3 status bar and other various programs appear to be unaffected. (Things like Electron Apps, Spotify, Slack, etc)

Here is what I have tried so far:

1) Changing the terminal from zsh to bash

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/5752/EfjP6g.png

2) Adjusting the font in ~/.Xresources

No change here

3) Adjusting the font in ~/.config/i3/config

None of these have provided any real indication as to what is happening. It appears to be affecting things like `ranger` as well. So something seems very wrong with my configuration. I really appreciate any help in advance! Files to follow.


Here is a snippet of my shell history with some redundant unrelated commands removed

Re: [RESOLVED] Broken Font Configuration i3 Terminals

Fsck me. Read the Code of conduct and, a) don't post huge images, and b) learn how to use code tags:

Re: [RESOLVED] Broken Font Configuration i3 Terminals

You mean the undercut glyphboxes?

URxvt.letterSpace:              -1

Which urxvt package do you use?

Not quite the undercut glyphboxes. The entire font appears to be off. I was able to make some adjustments which might steer this in a better direction. But first let me answer your question. Here is what I have installed

 iveelsm  ~  pacman -Q | grep rxvt 
rxvt-unicode 9.22-9
rxvt-unicode-terminfo 9.22-9
urxvt-perls 2.3-1

I was able to make a change to the ~/.Xdefaults file which rendered something different

https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/2561/5h6vIu.png

Which is closer to what it was previously, and all I did was remove this line from ~/.Xdefaults

!urxvt*font: xft:Terminus:pixelsize=12,xft:Inconsolata\ for\ Powerline:pixelsize=12

The ! is what I added to remove the font configuration. Which leads me to think that this could be an issue with Powerline Fonts, but I followed this up by adding other fonts/sizes which appeared to have no impact.

Re: [RESOLVED] Broken Font Configuration i3 Terminals

The images you are pasting are still oversized, and yet completely useless because they are all terminal and the resolution is terrible...

Terminus is not an XFT font.

Re: [RESOLVED] Broken Font Configuration i3 Terminals

Let's see what font you're actually resolving

fc-list | grep -i terminus

but addressing the otb fonts via xft should™ work fine.
However, all I can say and see is that you switched from the 12px Terminus to the 16px Terminus. We have no idea what you don't like about the font (other than that it's undercut)
The font in the i3bar is not Terminus, though (but "fc-match monospace". It's not DejaVu Sans Mono, but something that doesn't distinguish 0 and O very well)

Understood. I will stop posting them. In my opinion they were helpful. Thanks for the feedback.

It's not necessarily that I don't like the font, it's that I am unable to change it from what I can tell. I can adjust the status bar font size, but there would be no effect on the terminal. The change from removing the terminus font in `~/.Xdefaults` just led to a different size by default. However, whatever I put in `~/.Xresources` or `~/.config/i3/config` appears to be ignored.

Let's see what font you're actually resolving

fc-list | grep -i terminus

/usr/share/fonts/misc/ter-x22b.pcf.gz: Terminus:style=Bold

Back on topic:
1. you want https://www.archlinux.org/packages/comm … -font-otb/ because pango dropped support for the pcfs.
2. The urxvt fonts are not configured through i3, where did you get that idea? Adjusting the proper xrdb key however clearly works (as illustrated by your screenshots), so I kinda struggle to see what your problem is.

The currently determining key is "URxvt.font: -*-terminus-medium-r-normal--16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*", ie. 16px Terminus.
Also read up https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X_resources and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rx … figuration

Re: [RESOLVED] Broken Font Configuration i3 Terminals

I was actually able to resolve this, part of the problem here was my noob-ness, the other part was maybe(?) a missing font. It's unknown.

First I realized that you need to do the following to actually reload ~/.Xresources.

xrdb ~/.Xresources

Which was adjusting the fonts properly.

After that I converted the value in my ~/.Xresources to the following

URxvt*font: xft:Droid Sans Mono for Powerline:size=10

This change, instead of using the Incosolata (and maybe in conjunction with the Terminus removal) resolved my issue.

The strange this was that this font configuration had been working for months prior to this. So I am not sure what happened.

Can do.

Yeah, this was just me being new and not realizing what configured what. I realize now that i3 is going to configuration the fonts for the things it controls (like windows wink) and X server will control other things. Appreciate the help. It looks like it is more or less resolved and I learned something from all of this. Thank you!

Re: [RESOLVED] Broken Font Configuration i3 Terminals

X server will control other things

No. xrdb is a system to store values on the X11 server where *some* clients will read them. It's by no stretch a universal system and gtk and Qt don't use it.

Thanks.

I see. Thanks for the clarification!
