[SOLVED] rxvt-unicode and i3blocks display texts strangely

[toku]

Hi all. I have recently noticed that rxvt-unicode and i3blocks are displaying text strangely. Specifically, the text is not displayed in the specified font.
When I run urxvt from the terminal, I get the following warning message.

Code: Select all

urxvt: unable to calculate font width for 'Source Code Pro:slant=0:weight=200:pixelsize=18:minspace=True', using max_advance_width.
urxvt: unable to calculate font width for 'Font Awesome 5 Free:slant=0:weight=200:pixelsize=18:minspace=True', using max_advance_width.
urxvt: unable to calculate font width for 'PowerlineSymbols:slant=0:weight=200:pixelsize=18:minspace=True', using max_advance_width.
urxvt: unable to calculate font width for 'Hack:slant=0:weight=200:pixelsize=18:minspace=True', using max_advance_width.

.

I am using rxvt-unicode with the same .Xresources on my laptop too, and the text displays correctly there.
As for screenshots and other logs, here they are: https://gist.github.com/toku-sa-n/3b36a ... 9ae061ca22
What should I do? Thank you in advance.

Most probably, a few USE flags are missing.

Your profile is "default/linux/amd64/17.1". Why don't you use a desktop profile?

Code: Select all

eselect profile list
eselect profile set <n>
emerge --update --deep --changed-use -av @world

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, your commands didn't solve the problem. The result is the same as before. I'm checking my USE flags.

I ended up setting the font size explicitly by

Code: Select all

xft:Source\ Code\ Pro:size=13

.
For future readers who are struggling with this problem, here is what I found.
- Without specifying the font size, urxvt printed texts incorrectly. If you run it on the console, you'll see error messages like in my first post.
- Specifying the font size solved the problem.
- Listing Source Code Pro as the second font did not print error messages. That is,

Code: Select all

URxvt.font: xft:Hack,xft:Source\ Code\ Pro

worked without error messages.
- I didn't have to specify font sizes for fonts other than Source Code Pro. Only Source Code Pro had the problem.
