[SOLVED] I broke my font and have no idea what is happenig

thiago234788 · 2021-06-30 18:19:46

hi, I spend the entire week installing and configuring arch for the first time, install dwm, and solved A LOT of problems and it was great and challenging.
but this one i have no idea what is going on, i search a lot but nothing seem to answer.
(sorry if it be a dumb problem, and my bad english)

Im using dwm and termite, I dont intentionally change nothing related to fonts, I was writing some text notes, and installing some programs
but I think I acidentally pressed some keys and the my font change. I suspect it was something on termite, but could find nothing on man-page
the font changed in termite, any terminal application, and in the dwm bar. I think it was related with X but could find nothing about it. I think I disable
bold font and now it looks thin, but seem to be another font.

I have to change the font on DWM? on Xserver? on Console? on Termite? it is very confusing.

how can I have my nice and readable font back? or change to something better? what I have to change?

What, exactly, did you install?

If this is a recent installation, please post (or link to) your complete pacman.log and tell us what day, and about what time the problem first appeared.

thanks for the insight, it was calibre fault. I uninstall it and now the sun shines again. I will firgure out another way of open a .azw3 file without calibre. doesnt know that installing a program could automatically change my font, learn the lesson.

edit: foliate was a great substitute that doesn't mess with my font

Please use code tags, https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode
The direct cause is probably gsfonts and you might have to explicitly define your defaults for sans/serif and monospace, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Font_c … ault_fonts
