Can't seem to figure out different font names for the different sizes in terminal
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Hi, I'd appreciate a little help if you don't mind. I'm using Urxvt terminal and currently have it set up like so:
URxvt*font: xft:TamzenForPowerline:pixelsize=16
I have also tried doing it like so:
URxvt*font: xft:-Misc-Tamzen-Medium-R-Normal--16-116-100-100-C-80-ISO8859-1:pixelsize=16
but for some reason it doesn't recognize the font when I do that.
I'm using a HiDPI screen so I was really happy that different sizes for your bitmap font along with the powerline symbols. I had installed via the AUR and all the font sizes appear in my /usr/share/fonts/local/ folder. However, I can't seem to figure out a way to change the size to something other than the default. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Have you tried the shell printf method that is mentioned in the README specifically for URxvt?
printf '\e]710;%s\007' 'font -misc-tamzen-medium-r-normal--16-108-100-100-c-80-iso8859-1'Another possible issue I just noticed is that you're specifying a different size in your X11 font description:
URxvt*font: xft:-Misc-Tamzen-Medium-R-Normal--16-116-100-100-C-80-ISO8859-1
You may have more success limiting yourself to the predefined X11 font descriptions that are listed here.
Sorry, didn’t see you had replied. I had gotten it working. Was just hard to notice. I have a 4K screen so was hoping the bigger size would be enough but it wasn’t. For some reason when using your powerline font in there the icons don’t work. I get an empty black box. Not sure why
