 Posted: Wed Sep 30, 2009 12:57 am Post subject: xterm font size does not change [SOLVED] |
 |
|
The font size in my xterm does not change no matter what I do. Ctrl-right-click -> change font size doesn't do anything, and changing the font size in .Xdefaults doesn't work (although everything else does).
Any ideas why xterm is stubbornly keeping it's default font size?
| Code: |
xterm*font: *-fixed-*-*-*-20-*
xterm*loginShell: true
xterm*vt100*geometry: 80x50
xterm*saveLines: 2000
xterm*charClass: 33:48,35:48,37:48,43:48,45-47:48,64:48,95:48,126:48,35:48
xterm*termName: xterm-color
xterm*foreground: rgb:a8/a8/a8
xterm*background: rgb:00/00/00
xterm*color0: rgb:00/00/00
xterm*color1: rgb:a8/00/00
xterm*color2: rgb:00/a8/00
xterm*color3: rgb:a8/54/00
xterm*color4: rgb:00/00/a8
xterm*color5: rgb:a8/00/a8
xterm*color6: rgb:00/a8/a8
xterm*color7: rgb:a8/a8/a8
xterm*color8: rgb:54/54/54
xterm*color9: rgb:fc/54/54
xterm*color10: rgb:54/fc/54
xterm*color11: rgb:fc/fc/54
xterm*color12: rgb:54/54/fc
xterm*color13: rgb:fc/54/fc
xterm*color14: rgb:54/fc/fc
xterm*color15: rgb:fc/fc/fc
xterm*boldMode: false
xterm*colorBDMode: true
xterm*colorBD: rgb:fc/fc/fc

Try this in ~/.Xdefaults | Code: | | XTerm*.font: -*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* |
and run | Code: | | xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults |
Also try these from a terminal
| Code: | $ xterm -fn -*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*
$ xterm -fn -*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-28-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*
$ xterm -fn -*-fixed-medium-r-*-*-48-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-* |
what happens?
do you actually have fixed font installed? I think it's media-fonts/font-misc-misc

It is very strange that fixed font (aka media-fonts/font-misc-misc) is no longer a dependency of xorg-server.  |

it is dependency of xorg-X11 meta package (although too many fonts without much possibility of control are dependencies of xorg-X11) |

Could be that because here I get this | Code: | $ equery depends font-misc-misc
* Searching for font-misc-misc ...
dev-python/pygobject-2.18.0-r2 (test ? media-fonts/font-misc-misc)
net-misc/tightvnc-1.3.10-r1 (server ? media-fonts/font-misc-misc)
x11-base/xorg-x11-7.4-r1 (media-fonts/font-misc-misc)
x11-libs/gtk+-2.16.6 (test ? media-fonts/font-misc-misc) |

if so, it is a bug in WM ebuild. In principle, nothing should depend on meta-packages (only directly on packages they actually need) |
