Dunst only showing bold text properly
Opened this issue · 6 comments
Everything that isn't in bold is shown as a unicode box
(Note, the box before "Chats" is expected, it's an emoji)
Here's my dunstrc;

on line 89, the font face name should be scientifica with a small s. but i'm not sure if that's really an issue.
these rectangular placeholders would usually occur if the character is not a part of the font, but i think this is caused by pango removing support for non opentype bitmap font formats.
some things you could try:
- use the
otbfont files instead ofbdfif you aren't already doing so - run
fc-cache --really-force -v
if none of that works, could you please share the following:
- the output of
fc-list | grep sci - the version of
pangoyou have installed
I tried both Scientifica, and scientifica, neither of which changed anything.
Here's my fc-list;
and pango;
For further information I'm using both the bdf files from the git repo (~/.local/share/fonts) and the AUR package otb-scientifica (/usr/share/fonts/misc/)
could you remove the bdfs from ~/.local/share/fonts, run fc-cache -fv and restart dunst and tell me if that works? its possible that bdf edition is shadowing the otb one.
i am pretty sure its pango's doing, bdf formats are no longer supported in pango 1.44+.
Aha! That was exactly it, after removing the bdf's dunst is properly showing non-bold text. Thanks for the help man!
Cheers :^)
