font_gentoo problem.

[ryokashi]

while trying to solve old problems newly appear- fonts. repository have sazanami and vlgothic. but when emerge they did not show japan keymaps and symbols, not standart nor gothic. none of this can be displayed when typing and in browser tabs. how to set japan layout with this fonts? and, bonus task- is it true, that terminus does not set as default font for all network webpages in java.css (need to change font in pages and in interface browser, lynx will work, i shure, but what about qt or webkit browsers)? maybe someone know very similar font to terminus, which can be set to pages.

Hi!

Would you please create meaningful thread titles?

If I understand correctly you want to use a certain font, you could use fontconfig for that (eselect fontconfig), after you have emerged that font of course, for more information: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Fontconfig
Also some applications use separate settings, so you should set those in the config for that application.

First of all, the original poster needs to work on their English.
Second, while I don't know the language, I'm partial to media-fonts/ipamonafont.

Now, let's try to figure out what the question is...
OP seems to misunderstand how fontconfig works. Well, that's not that bad, rarely anyone goes beyond basics (and that's pretty much how it should work).
As long as the webpage is properly written (that is has encoding information), any qt/gtk+ based browser should display it correctly.

Therefore, unlike in the usual case, some screenshots might be useful. Also, a more detailed description of what the problem is and how is it triggered is necessary.

To make a certain detail clear:

• 車
  
• 日本語
  
• 攻略
  

(OK, that's a bit random :shrug:)

So, I don't know the language - doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about.

Anyway, I don't see how screenshot one relates to screenshot two.
The OP is confusing locale, input keymap and fonts.
As for console vs xserver, that's somewhat painful and a topic I haven't really touched (on console side of the problem) wrt. CJK (though as long as locale is properly set, at least kana in console shouldn't be all that hard to get).

So:
- what is your locale ?
- which IME are you using/planing to use ?

Also, yes, the default font size in most browsers is a bit too small for kanji to be readable, but that's a completely different matter.

Come on VoidMage... try to help instead of...

First, as VoidMage rightly put it, you should not confuse font, keymap and locale settings because there're really different things.

Second, it seems you want to be able to have use East Asian locales, fonts and keymaps. You should first set up bidi, cjk and unicode USE flags globally in `/etc/portage/make.conf'. See this topic about the use flags and fonts for more info.

@tclover: a few points:
- I see infinality as tinkering for tinkering sake
- unless the OP is planing to use terms like xterm, it will either be something vte or Qt based, so were back to fontconfig (making anything .Xresources related nice to know, but not all that useful)
- as for your xorg conf snippet, you do remember XkbRules value is meaningless with evdev driver ? (and while there was also path filtering, but IIRC most recent versions already reject anything not /dev/input/event*)
- 'cjk' flag isn't really all that helpful in most of the cases and 'bidi' is for RTL text, which doesn't really cover Japanese (unless you count vertical writing, which isn't really bidi)

@ryokashi: that screenshot is somewhat interesting, just not quite in the way you expect.
That upper left corner is almost certainly an encoding (so a locale) problem.
But what's more interesting is that text output on top...
How exactly do you produce it, so that 'reflection none' string sometimes ends with properly displayed string and sometimes with missing glyph boxes ?
Also, FFS, post output of 'locale' (and given your tinkering, just to be safe, 'locale charmap' too)

[stephan-t]

You need edit the font mapping. However want use terminal font in bar, put some glyph into this font with tool like gucharmap. Original dwm, cannot show some unicode block please add the pango patch.
