Font problem in applications like dmenu and dzen

Renke Grunwald · 2008-05-26 01:59:23

With urxvt, I can use DejaVu Sans Mono at 16 pixel without any problems, but when I use dmenu or dzen (the problem may not be directly related to those) the font looks strange; it looks like the correct font, but xfontsel revealed that the font can be used but apparently only at 17 pixel and beeing italic. Any idea how that can be solved?

Ignore what xfontsel says. Try the following:

echo "Archlinux is the best!" | dzen2 -fn '-*-dejavu sans-medium-r-normal--10-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1' -p

Adjust pixelsize to your liking.
