[SOLVED] StumpWM - Fonts Randomly Bolded

Hey all -

Okay, so I'm trying to migrate from GNOME to StumpWM, and running into a problem where some of my fonts are randomly bolded while in Stump, although they aren't in GNOME.  Both WMs are using the same configuration / resource files (except for WM-specific configs, obviously).

Even stranger is that the fonts go back/forth as I move between WMs.  So, for example, if I start a screen session in GNOME and run some commands, everything looks great.  If I then log out and restart X into Stump and re-attach the same screen session, the fonts are bolded.  If I then go back into GNOME and reattach the same screen session, everything looks great again.

Here are some examples of what I'm talking about:

My home directory file listing, in GNOME:

My home directory file listing, in Stump:

A ViM session, in GNOME:

A ViM session, in Stump (note the random bolding of the word 'session'):

I can't seem to figure out what the problem is.

Here are some relevant config files:

My .xinitrc:

#!/bin/bash

# Set the default session to openbox
session_default=gnome

# Allow specifying a session with startx
session=$2
test -z "$session" && session=$session_default

# Start the URxvt daemon
urxvtd -q -o -f &

# Turn numlock on
#[[ -x "/usr/bin/numlockx" ]] && numlockx &

# Restore the previous background
#eval `cat ~/.fehbg` &

# Make sure we are in Dvorak
setxkbmap dvorak &

case $session in
    "gnome")
        alunn &
        fusion-icon &
        exec gnome-session;;

    "stumpwm")
#        xsetroot -bg "#121212" -mod 3 3 &
        xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap &
        exec /usr/bin/stumpwm;;

    "xmonad")
        xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr &
#        zsh $HOME/bin/xmodshit &
        xmonad;;

    "wmii")
        zsh $HOME/bin/dzconky &
        exec wmii;;

    *)

esac

Re: [SOLVED] StumpWM - Fonts Randomly Bolded

Some additional info, as outputted by some X commands recommended by some kind folks in the IRC channel:

GNOME font / Xft info:

Stump font / Xft info:

Maybe a Xft problem?

Re: [SOLVED] StumpWM - Fonts Randomly Bolded

Okay, finally, I tried completely removing any mention of Xft (or anything else fancy regarding fonts) in my Xdefaults file... but it had no impact.

/* fonts */
URxvt*font: terminus:pixelsize=12
URxvt*boldFont: terminus:pixelsize=12
urxvt*italicFont: terminus:pixelsize=12:italic
urxvt*bolditalicFont: terminus:pixelsize=12::bold:italic

Does anyone have ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] StumpWM - Fonts Randomly Bolded

try with this:

URxvt*font: -*-terminus-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
URxvt*boldFont: -*-terminus-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Re: [SOLVED] StumpWM - Fonts Randomly Bolded

Okay, I played with a bunch of different font options, and none of them worked.  They all ended up bolded.  I tried

-*-terminus-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
-*-dejavu sans mono-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

And then I chose some specific versions of the above with xfontsel and tried those... nothing.

Any ideas? :-/

I really want to use stumpwm, but the randomly bolded thing is really obnoxious.

Re: [SOLVED] StumpWM - Fonts Randomly Bolded

I have in my .xinitrc this:

xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/local/
xset fp rehash

If I remove it, everithing looks rather ugly

Thanks for responding, olvar!

I gave it a shot, but no luck.  I also tried:

xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/*
xset fp rehash

... just in case, but still nothing.

It has to be something weird :-/

Re: [SOLVED] StumpWM - Fonts Randomly Bolded

Ok, glancing through your .Xdefaults I realized you are using xft, whereas what I posted works with the "core X font subsystem". My guess you just have to initialize correctly the xft (fontconfig) fonts. Something that gnome probably does automagically.
I don't really know how to do that but probably the wiki has an entry for that. I'll search and comeback if I find something.

Edit
In the wiki there is a note that reads:

Note: For some desktop environments (such as Gnome and KDE) using the Font Control Panel  will automatically create or overwrite the user font configuration file. For these desktop environments, it is best to match your already defined font configurations to get the expected behavior.

Maybe you can start gnome, grab the configuration file, and put it somewhere globally available.

Oh wow, thanks so much for the help!

Okay, while going down that path and hacking around, I discovered something interesting:

If I launch 'urxvt', on its own, everything is perfect.  It is clearly sourcing my .Xdefaults file.  But, if I launch 'urxvtc', a client to the running daemon, everything is messed up in Stump, but fine in GNOME.

So why would urxvtc resource .Xdefaults in GNOME but not Stump?  Ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] StumpWM - Fonts Randomly Bolded

Okay, problem solved.

It turns out that stump was actually failing to execute 'urxvtc', and instead just launching an xterm in its place without really telling me.  The issue was on my end, regarding some command aliasing.

Thanks so much for your help, everyone that posted!
