[Solved] Luxi Fonts Mangled

jasonwryan · 2011-06-23 09:39:34

I have been trying to setup a serif font in my terminal, and like Luxi Mono from the font-bh-ttf package.

I cannot, for the life of me, get it to render decently in urxvt. I have tried a straight install, building from ABS and downloading the tarball from xorg,freedesktop and installing it myself - to no avail.

This Xdefaults entry

URxvt.font: -b&h-luxi mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-c-0-iso8859-10
URxvt.boldFont: -b&h-luxi mono-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-10

produces this abomination:

Using the xft setting

URxvt.font:xft:luxi mono:regular:size=10
URxvt.boldFont:xft:luxi mono:regular:size=10

Produces this in Arch:

...and the desired effect in Ubuntu:

I have no other issues with TTF fonts installed on my various boxes (droid sans mono, envy code r, etc.,) What am I missing?

Have you tried:

URxvt.font: xft:Luxi Mono:pixelsize=10

?

Gah!

I have tried every variation except with the gap between font: and xft...

Thanks Lite.

Why does the gap work?

Isn't it the capitals that make it work, instead of the gap..?

No. I had tried all of those permutations. Adding the gap was the difference.

Weird.

[Solved] but weird.
