Dmenu2 xft-font blank width spacing bug?

Hi,
if I launch dmenu2 with an xft-font specified (via `-fn 'Monospace-13'` for example), I experience the following:
When I type something, every blank after a letter is incredibly narrow or worse just invisible. This only affects the blanks directly after a letter or if the first character is a blank anyway; the following blanks now just have the normal width.
Can someone confirm this issue? (To reproduce, just launch dmenu2 with an xft-font specified and hit space several times or try write letters/words with blanks in between)
Thanks!

Sorry for bumping, but aren't there really any dmenu2 users around who are willing to invest a couple of seconds to tell me wether this is actually a bug or a classic pebkac? I simply don't want to annoy the developper straightaway if it's just me making ridiculous mistakes...

Custom report - Can't customize font / table width etc

So i'm authoring my first report - that works fine; however I can't seem to figure out how to customize the font / table width etc. I'm creating an RDL file from Report Server Project Wizard in Visual Studio and in there i'm changing font sizes and table
widths and I can see its changing in the RDL file's XML. I then plug the RDL file into my managment pack and import it. I run the report and the results always have this huge font and the table widths don't change. Anyone have any idea what i'm missing or
why that would be happening? heres the RDL file for reference:

I did some digging and found a link that might help you/have an answer.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14850503/change-default-font-ssrs-visual-studio
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/574003/modify-the-default-font-family-for-sql-server-business-intelligence-development-studio-while-creating-a-report#
If you click on work around someone posted that they were able to modify the default font in visual studio.
"If I am not mistaken, you can update your Report.rdl template file in visual studio
to use the default font you wish to use.
navigate to this location (where x is your visual studio version):
C:-\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio x\Common7\ide\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProject
copy report.rdl to an already created report project.
Add the report to your report project
Update the default font where applicable.
Copy the updated report.rdl back to the location above and that is it.
The next time you open your project, you will be using the update rdl file as your
template.
You can do this as many times as you want.

Conky and xft fonts

WM: Openbox
I have these in my conkyrc:
override_utf8_locale yes
use_xft yes
xftfont Terminus:size=8
xftalpha 0.8
But it doesn't display the desired fonts, if launched from a terminal error is:
Conky: can't load Xft font 'Pie charts for maps:size=8'
Conky: can't load Xft font 'Radio Space:size=8'
Conky: can't load Xft font 'Pie charts for maps:size=8'
Conky: can't load Xft font 'Radio Space:size=8'

Hi Shy
You have to install dmenu-xft
Look here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28745
There is a problem with the packagebuild on this page though.
It should be:
pkgname=dmenu-xft
pkgver=4.0
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="Dynamic X menu - with xft support"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url="http://code.suckless.org/"
license=('MIT')
depends=('libx11' 'libxinerama' 'libxft')
conflicts=('dmenu')
provides=('dmenu')
source=(http://dl.suckless.org/tools/dmenu-4.0.tar.gz
http://z.ip.fi/~henkka/dmenu-xft/dmenu-4.0-xft.diff)
md5sums=('66e761a653930cc8a21614ba9fedf903'
'1f3ecd819a39dea88a3dde9b5271bec6')
build() {
cd $srcdir/dmenu-$pkgver
patch -p1 < ../dmenu-4.0-xft.diff || return 1 make || return 1 make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg PREFIX=/usr install || return 1 # LICENSE mkdir -p $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname || return 1 cp LICENSE $startdir/pkg/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/ || return 1
Save this as PKGBUILD textfile and run makepkg where you saved PKGBUILD.
But first uninstall the dmenu version you have with
sudo pacman -Rd dmenu

Cursor / window disappears with rxvt-unicode + xcompmgr + Xft font

The issue described in this thread is still outstanding for a number of users.
It seems to boil down to this: when using rxvt-unicode with xcompmgr and an Xft font (Liberation Mono, DejaVu Sans Mono, and Terminus were among those tested), the terminal cursor will disappear. Typing some text and pressing backspace will cause it to reappear.
Furthermore, the entire window sometimes disappears when switching workspaces in Openbox. Repeated workspace switches or minimizing / restoring the window (via a panel, such as tint2) can make it reappear.
A workaround is to set URxvt*cursorUnderline in ~/.Xdefaults, but some users prefer a block cursor.

The suggestion of installing libxft-lcd was made. I did so, commented-out the URxvt*cursorUnderline line in ~/.Xdefaults, logged out of X, and restarted slim from tty1.
% ldd /usr/bin/urxvt | grep Xft
libXft.so.2 => /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 (0x00007fd35f179000)
% pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libXft.so.2
/usr/lib/libXft.so.2 is owned by libxft-lcd 2.2.0-1
After restarting slim, the problem persists. After rebooting, the problem still persists.
xterm does not exhibit this problem, nor does emacs. I use both programs with libxft and blinking block cursors, and they both work as expected. This seems to be an issue with running rxvt-unicode in combination with xcompmgr. From my POV, it doesn't seem that intel drivers are to blame, but I suppose I wouldn't rule them out.

Tibetan font (Wylie) rgu rngu bug?

Hello all,
Using amazing and wonderful Tibetan (Wylie) in Leopard 10.5.3 I found a very small, but annoying problem.
When one enters syllable rgu - it turns into rngu - རྒུ་, but the real grapheme for 'rgu' is this:
http://cgi.sse-ag.ch/tib/tibtopng.pl?trlit=wylie&text=rgu
Other 'rg' combinations work fine: རྒེ་རྒ་རྒོ་རྒི་
It would be great to fix this problem, many Tibetan font users would be grateful!
བཀྲ་ཤི་བདེ་ལེགས་

It's not a font issue, but a bug in the wylie keyboard layout, which maps key sequences to the appropriate unicode character values. You should be sure to report it here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
You could also try downloading an alternative wylie keyboard and see if that works correctly:

Why can I not use Dina-font as a Xft font?(SOLVED)

If I use the following code with i.e. dzen2: -*-dina-medium-r-*-*-15-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1 everything works fine. The problem is that I want to use it in awesome's statusbar, but ASFAIK it only uses Xft fonts.
Dina fonts are stored in *.bdf.pcf.gz files and as I understand it these font types should be usable in Xft oriented apps. Or what?
Any hints/help are appreciated.

Maye sure that you have correct font paths in your xorg.conf, and mayre fun mkfontdir/mkfontscale on the directory where you have installed the font.
EDIT: I don't use awesome anymore, but "Dina-10" worked just fine in awesomerc (if I remember correctly).

Emacs23 xft font problem

It is said emac23 supports xft fonts now,but I am having troubles to use them.
Both on my home and office computers I have font DejaVu Sans Mono and Monaco installed, I can see them in the output of fc-list and I can use them in other applications such as KDE kate.
In my ~/.Xresources I set emacs's fontbackend to xft
Emacs.FontBackend: xft
In the .emacs I set up default font like this(when use DejaVu Sans Mono)
(set-default-font "DejaVu Sans Mono-11")
or like this (when use Monaco)
(set-default-font "Monaco-11")
The strange thing is that on my home computer although emacs is very happy with DejaVu but it complains "font Monaco is not defined"; and on my office computer it says both of the above fonts are "not defined"(actually if you select the option>set default font from the menu,none of xft fonts is available in the font select dialog, but I swear I can use them in other applications).
the -font or -fn command line option doesn't work for me too.
As far as I know I am using the same xft configurations on home and office computer( I mean those /etc/fonts/conf.d files), so I really cannot understand what is happending? emacs has been always acting different with "normal" applications , am I missing some tricks?
Thank you in advance.

Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

Questions regarding xft fonts, and awesome wm

Hi, I just tried ArchLinux yesterday and loving it!
I use JWM, but am very interested in dwm/awesome wm. I do have some questions:
1. On a thread in the forum, it is mentioned that dwm has no Xft support. How useful exactly is Xft? Would it impact on design work involving GIMP/Inkscape/Scribus?
2. Does awesome have Xft support?
3. I installed awesome, but I have no idea on what keys to use. The shortcuts are different from dwm. I tried to look for quick tutorial just to get the basics (dwm has one on their website), but seems like all documentation I found have none of that section and go straight to configuration.
Do I actually have to configure the wm before I can use it at a very basic level?
4. I would like to do some more comparison between wms, trying to find a good balance for me in regards of lightness and functions I need. However, I have no idea on what to use to keep track of cpu/memory usage for all the wms. What's a good way to do this?
Thank you in advance.

Welcome to Arch!
1. The lack of xft support in dwm mostly just means that you won't get anti-aliased fonts in the status bar. Individual applications will still have the same font support they had before you used dwm.
2. Awesome uses pango for font rendering, which is even better than xft.
3. Look at the man page for default key bindings. It's more or less usable out of the box, but you will definitely want to customize it somehow.
4. A good system monitor is htop. Install it from the repos and run it from a terminal.

HT2523 I have text edit and cant seem to get any of my fonts or double spacing onto my screen. I se it for college so it would be nice if i could figure out how to put it on there so its easier to type up a paper

So i have a mac book air. And i am trying to type a paper but none of the tools are on m document for easy access. I have to go in and try to change everything under the settings manual. I was wondering how i put all of the easy acces tools such as font spacing and styles all on the front part of my screen not up at the top menu area. I just want it where its suppossed to be not hidden. How do i do that? Thanks.

Thank you so much

Marker spacing (bug?)

I have a program that periodically gets updated with different z scale intensity graph max and min values (which are used to establish the range of a color table) . I want the user to have the option of specifying the number of marker intervals but I seem to have run into a bit of a bug. As it turns out, "uniform marker spacing" is not in fact uniform if the scale goes into the negative range. It seems that the scale must always increment with respect to the 0 marker regardless of where i specify the start range property to be.
Case in point, look at the VI I've attached. I have a scale from - 100 to 100, and I try to divide it into 5 even intervals. Ideally, the scale markers would just read 100, 60, 20, -20, 60, 100. Instead, because it chooses to always use 0 as the increment reference, it reads 100 80, 40, 0, 40, 80, -100. Does anyone know of a way around this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

marker interval bug.vi ‏15 KB

I haven't tested the following theory:
A scale has 5 properties: Min, Max, Major Increment, Minor Increment, Start.
I think that the Start will allways be at a marker value, so I think that changing the Start to 'Min' will get you where you want.

If I hit enter to go to a new line it's double spaced(BUG)

if I hit enter to go to a new line it's double spaced even thought it's set to single space.
in the inspector "T" the "LINE" says 1 and single. I can change the line spacing to look like 1 by sliding it down to 0.01 to look like 1 of single but that's pretty tedious.
So it's a bug yeah?
The part that's messed up was add in from notes app which is the problem I'm guessing. Still it's a bug.
I've tried copying into a new pages doc and still no go.
Anyway ideas around this bug?
thanks

Probably just had an extra return at the end of paragraph, which is a common style in Notes.

Width Tool BUG! Come on people, nobody is flipping about this???

Hi there,
I'm making an infographic and as I was working with the width tool I've noticed some strange thing: I set a couple of anchor width points precisely, but for some reason there's a thinner part all the time:
From 30pt (wide green part) it supposed to to go back to 6pt (top left width tool point) and keep that width until another point, and it eventually does, but with a thinner part between. No matter how many points I add the little curve stays there.
The stroke line is set to one side only (inside the width tool options). Maybe that is what causing the problem?
It always happens if the line is decreasing in width as well:
At the red line the width is 30pt (and it should be all the way) but a "bump" is clearly visible before the width tool point. And if I hover the width tool it always shows bigger width than it supposed to be, sometimes even up to 4-5 points bigger.
I'm using Illustrator CC 2014.0.0
Can anyone reproduce this phenomenon? It is not a super big bug, but aesthetically speaking it is a big no-no.
What the F is going on? Adobe?
Thanks,
Robin

> it is supposed to to go back to 6pt and keep that width until another point...
That is a false assumption. It seems that Illustrator is trying to preserve the smoothness of the curve by making the line thinner in between two points of the same width, but I agree, they should rework the algorithm to make it work more intuitively.

Illustrator CS6 width tool bug - Adobe do you even listen????

Hi,
I've asked about this couple months ago and infact others have mentioned it nearly 2 yrs ago and Adobe has done nothing about it to address the issue. The very basic functionality of adobe to even draw a stroke with a width profile assigned to it results in straight lines or profile points magically appearing on the stroke when in theory it should just be a smooth curve. is there ever going to be a fix for this? There aren't even plugins addressing this issue, yes I looked in the hope maybe there is one. If you're going to tellme the solution is to use roughen thats a load of crap because that doesn't do it either. If you're asking me to simplify every ******* stroke with a default width profile applied to it, you're out of your mind. I've got something close to 200 of these strokes that have to be done one by one and if your stroke width profile didn't have a bug, things would've taken less than 30 mins.2 yrs and no fix for something so basic.

Has no one else encountered this issue? It may just as I'd feared! Haha. Like I said, all of the other Adobe products have normal splash screens, so I don't think a driver issue really makes sense. Why would it only be affecting Illustrator and not Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc? I really hope I don't have to just chuck my computer off a bridge. Any other feedback would be much appreciated!

When I use "Email link" in Firefox, the Outlook message default formatting changes (font, font size, paragraph spacing) - how can I stop this from happening?

In Outlook, my default message format includes the following:
Font: Arial 10pt font
Spacing: Before: 0pt, After: 0pt
When I email a link from Firefox, a new message opens, which has the following formatting:
If I type anything before the URL, the formatting is:
Font: Arial 10pt font
Spacing: Before: 0pt, After: 0pt
If I type anything after the URL, the formatting is:
Font: Times New Roman 12pt font
Spacing: Before: Auto, After: Auto
This doesn't happen with Internet Explorer - when emailing a link, my default message format is retained.
Since I email a lot of links for my job, and I prefer to use Firefox, this is a pretty annoying issue!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Michelle
Outlook 2007
Firefox 36.0.4

From Firefox, I click on "File' and then 'Email link'.
This results in a new Outlook message opening automatically, with the URL copied into the body of the message.
I then add my own text, see the screenshot image. That's where the formatting problems come in!
Cheers,
Michelle

[SLVD?]Openoffice fonts have bad spacing, hair spaces still don't work

Compare the first pic of Times New Roman in Openoffice, with the second pic in mousepad. (They are both size 12, I have no clue why the Openoffice one is smaller than the mousepad one.)
The spacing between the letters in the Openoffice version looks funny for some reason. You can really see the difference at the "as I cannot" and "example".
Why are the Openoffice fonts like this? Is there any way to make them normal? I have tried using other fonts, but Liberation and DejaVu also exhibit the same behaviour.
EDIT: Also, hair spaces don't work in Openoffice.
EDIT2: I realized that Openoffice was at an 83% view, and at 100% view it looks better.
Hair spaces still don't work though.

Some fonts don't support hair spaces. I have only checked a few fonts, but so far none of the MS fonts contain the hair space, U+200A. Times New Roman, Courier New and Arial don't have that glyph.
