[arch-general] Set terminus as a system font
Hello. I installed Terminus from a source tarball and successfully set it as a console font (in /etc/vconsole.conf). How can I set it as a default system-wide monospace font? I've found this tutorial: http://orford.org/gtk/#fonts, but it doesn't explain how to use several fonts (is it possible?). The needed files (eg: ter-x16b.pcf.gz) are located in /usr/local/share/fonts. If the above is not possible, I'd like to enable it in Xterm and Emacs. I tried to set it in Xterm, but it didn't work out: $ xset +fp /usr/local/share/fonts/terminus (I also added this one to .xinitrc.) $ cd /usr/local/share/fonts/ $ mkfontscale $ mkfontdir .Xdefaults: XTerm*faceName: Terminus XTerm:faceSize: 16 or XTerm*faceName: ter-x16n or $ xterm -fn '-*-terminus-medium-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' also xorg.conf: Section "Files" FontPath "/usr/local/share/fonts/terminus" EndSection

The easiest way to install Terminus system-wide is to remove those files you added and run pacman -S terminus-font. It's in community. ~Celti

default […] font != system-wide installed font!
— And for this, one may need a visit to /etc/fonts/conf.d/, which is a total mess. -- Kwpolska <http://kwpolska.tk> | GPG KEY: 5EAAEA16 stop html mail | always bottom-post http://asciiribbon.org | http://caliburn.nl/topposting.html
