Hi,

I used xterm before, but now I'd like to have transparency for my terminal. So I emerged aterm.

With xterm, I'm using this setting: xterm -fa "Andale Mono" -fg white -bg black -fs 14

I want to have the same fonts (Andale Mono) with aterm. Then I tried this command:

aterm -ls -fg green -tr -trsb -sh 50 -fade 75 -cr blue -sr -st -si -sl 10000 -tn xterm-color -T Terminal -fn "Andale Mono"-14 -fb "Andale Mono"-14

But I still get the default fonts...anyone can help me?

Thanks!

aterm does not seem to support tt fonts a la xterm. See ldd outputs from both below:

xterm:
Code:

        libXft.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.1 (0x4002b000)
        libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x40057000)
...


aterm:
Code:

        libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x4002b000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4003b000)
        libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x40103000)
        libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x4010d000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40125000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40254000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)


I don't see Xft and freetype in the list of libs above. So, I imagine it does not support truetype fonts. You can try using a font server, but it may be a little bit messy with Xft-based tt support already.
