[SOLVED]Change font issue

Hi, im new to Arch , im happy with it so far! But I want to get my favorite font "terminus" to work. I've read the wiki and i've also checked the FAQ for urxvt how to change font with no success. Im using latest Arch and I use urxvt as my terminal and awesome as wm, and i want the font to work on those both and in luakit if its possible. I've setup my xinitrc to make terminus work i've also resintalled it ones cuz I thought the font was broken or something. I used "URxvt.font:terminus" in my $HOME/.Xdefaults with no success. Ive also tried to add it to my rc.conf but it didnt make the font work in X(i havent checked if it appears on the commandline with no X up and running).
I hope i could get some help

Post your .Xdefaults.
Didnt work Heres my .Xdefualts:
urxvt*font: -*-terminus-medium-r-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
URxvt.foreground: #1793D1
URxvt.background: #555753
URxvt.scrollBar: off

.Xdefaults is deprecated, use .Xresources instead. Try in .Xresources adding
urxvt*font: <name of font>
Then to your .xinitrc add
xrdb --merge ~/.Xresources
I use this for setting the inconsolata font as default in urxvt and it works just fine.
The .Xresources didnt work for me for some reason so thats why im using Xdefaults.

[SOLVED] Changing font in urxvt, what's available?

I'm trying to change the font used in urxvt. Currently my .Xresources has the line:
URxvt.font: xft:terminus:size=9
This appears to be working. However, I'm not sure how to find the correct name for other fonts. The wiki says to look in /usr/share/fonts/misc/fonts.alias Mine can be found here: http://pastebin.com/EPH3DdWT
Apparently those full names work for bitmap fonts and the syntax I used above is for xft fonts.
As an example, say I'd like to set my urxvt font to Oxygen Mono. How do I determine if that font uses bitmap or xft? If bitmap, how do I find the full name in fonts.alias? If xft, how do I find the name to be used? ("oxygen mono", "oxygen-mono", etc)

If you installed xorg-fonts-100dpi or xorg-fonts-75dpi or the artwiz-fonts you would have quite a few pcf fonts, such as Courier and Lucida Typewriter. Many show up when I list monospace fonts. fc-list is used to list and filter the fonts that fontconfig knows. If you want to know most of the options a particular font has, you use th '-v' option to fc-list. '-f' is used to format and filter the information that is in the output.
$ fc-list -f "%{file}\n" :spacing=100 | grep pcf ## monospace pcf font files
/usr/share/fonts/100dpi/lutBS19.pcf.gz
/usr/share/fonts/artwiz-fonts/smoothansi.pcf
...<cut>
Try the difference between something like these two commands:
$ fc-list :family=LucidaTypewriter:style=Sans ## then try...
$ fc-list -v :family=LucidaTypewriter:style=Sans
You should be able to figure out the different font properties by referencing the documentation. A font does not have to include all (any?) of the font properties given in the fontconfig docs.

[SOLVED] X11: Fonts issue with HDL Designer

Hi,
Yesterday I installed HDL Designer for my job. But I couldn't launch it successfully.
After some environment variable checks, it give me this error message:
Error: Could not create FontSet for font '-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'.
The following character sets cannot be drawn with this font:
ISO8859-1
My locale is set on fr_CH-UTF-8 and the application set LC_ALL to C.
And after some searchs, I found two non-working solutions:
A pretty old:
http://www.edaboard.com/thread1456.html
I tried to create the old X11R6 directory and then do some symbolic links with no success.
A recent one with the right applications version:
http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/solve … er-2013-1/
I haven't found any equivalent package for "xfonts-75" in the official repositories nor in aur.
So maybe I missed something like symbolics link 'cause I don't have the sames directories.
Any idea?
Thank you.
[EDIT] Problem solved. I found the missing fonts package (xorg-fonts-75dpi).

[Solved] console font issue

Hi there!
Can't get terminus-font in console
I installed terminus-font, and renamed it as it described at wiki:
cp /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-v14n.psf.gz /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-v14n.psfu.gz
FONT="ter-v14n" string added to /etc/vconsole.conf
"consolefont" hook added to mkinitcpio hooks list, mkinitcpio rebuilt.
But after reboot I still have a default font.
During boot I can see that font switches to terminus but at login prompt it switches back to default font.
I think font itself is ok: I can switch to terminus manually by running 'setfont ter-v14n' and it works fine. But it so boring to do it on every boot...
Where am I wrong?
Thanks in advance.

That's Russian and I'd rather not touch non-English pages. I barely have to time to fix the English ones, so spreading myself thinner isn't going to help.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_script
Google translated the part about the cp command as
In this case, after the installation of many of the fonts, for example, terminus, font files, and even get there automatically, but are unsupported extension psf.gz. To a certain variable CONSOLEFONT font was found, rename the font file to its expansion was psfu.gz.
That's not true - at least not anymore. Maybe it once was <shrugs>
$ cat /etc/vconsole.conf
FONT=ter-v16n
FONT_MAP=8859-2
KEYMAP=pl2
$ ls -l /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-*.psfu.gz
$ ls -l /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-v16n.psf.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 3.7K May 8 16:33 /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-v16n.psf.gz

Changing fonts in all slides, Changing fonts in all slides

Hello, I have 80 slides I'd like to change the font in all slides to a simpler font. I'm using chalkduster font on iPad, how can I change it? Can I make 1 change or must I go through every slide?

Did you solve this font issue with Keynote? I just finished a huge presentation, uploaded it to the cloud and now realize the font I used on my iMac is NOT on keynote...go figure! So, now all the capitalization is screwy and inconsistent. don't want to recreate all fonts box by box.

Font issue with InDesign and OS 10.6

I have read quite a bit on this but have found no resolution. We installed OS 10.6 on two of our three G5 Macs at work. We use InDesign CS4 and OS 10.6.5.
When we open an InDesign file that we all share, the machines with 10.6 on it say fonts are missing. (I believe this is a naming convention problem.) I learned that some of the fonts for InDesign should be moved to the InDesign font folder. We did that. That helped on several of the fonts. However, we still have an issue with Helvetica Neue, and Universe (67 or other numbers). I have the same Universe font family listed, but when I go to find 67 or 47, they aren't there.
Anyone else having this problem? Do we need to go in to every document and change the fonts to avoid this error? Is there a better fix?

I have just swapped from an old Mac Mini (using 10.4.11) to the new Mac Mini (using 10.6.6). I did not do any fiddling about fonts. Everything is as it installs. The only thing I did is to resolve duplicate fonts in Font Book.
For convenience, I used Arial for documents. Now when I open an ID document, it says Arial[TT] (as well as bold, italic...) is missing. I checked the Arial ttf group is in /Library/Fonts, but in ID font list, it shows an Open type.
All I want is that the fonts should work, when I open all the InDesign documents (still in CS2 Version) that I created since last five years. I am no techie by any means, what I need is a step-to-step to solve the font issue, so that I can get on work immediately.
Any concrete step-to-step advice is highly appreciated.

Issue changing font in CC

I'm not sure why, but Photoshop CC keeps automatically changing my font back to it's previous font after I attempt to change it to a new one.
Current font in document: Source Sans Pro
Attempting to change font to: Open Sans
So far the only way I've been able to succesfully change the font is to choose something like Rockwell, click off the font. Then select it again and I'm able to choose Open Sans. Considering the fact that I'm attempting to make this change across an entire website design, 10+ pages this is very frustrating. It previews Open Sans when it's highlighted and I've selected the font from the character window but instantly reverts after I click to use Open Sans.

This seems to have been an issue with TypeKit. Luckily I had a copy of Open Sans on my home computer and was able to turn off the TypeKit version I was using at my office.

[Forum FAQ]Solution for Windows PowerShell console font issue when changing system locale

Issue description
After changing Windows System Locale to another country, users cannot modify Windows PowerShell console font to Lucida after modifying the font settings. There is also a potential bug report in Microsoft connect:
https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/806286/powershell-4-console-font-issue
Reason
In most situations, this problem is caused by system locale is changed to other countries from United States, such as Chinese, French, etc. Because of this change, the code page and font of Windows PowerShell console might be changed with system locale.
For Example, if change system locale to Chinese (Simplified China), Windows PowerShell console
(%systemdrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools) properties would be changed like this:
Solution
To resolve this problem, please follow the steps below:
Access to the path below to find the shortcut of Windows PowerShell:
%systemdrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools.
Right click Windows PowerShell and choose Properties.
Switch to Options, check if Current code page list there, if that it is, choose
437 (OEM-United States) and click Apply. Maybe you will encounter an
Access Deniedpop-up as the following picture. Then you need take ownership of current PowerShell File, switch to
Security Tab and obtain full control permission for current User Account.
Note: if Current code page was not list there, just leave alone
Options settings and switch to Font Tab.
Switch to Font Tab, choose the font you wished to use, click
Apply.
After the above settings, current Windows PowerShell console font should works as you wished.
Applies to
Windows PowerShell 3.0
Windows PowerShell 4.0

Cause
This issue is due to the bootmgr file, we cannot use the bootmgr file of Windows 7 to find the Windows 8 Operating System files.
The Windows 7 bootmgr can indeed boot Windows 8.

The Windows 8 bootmgr partially loads Windows 8 before offering the boot menu. By choosing Windows 7, the system must do a reboot. Using the Windows 7 bootmgr, no reboot is required.

Font issue in Acrobat 8

We have been having problems with .eps files placed in Quark and exported to a pdf. In Acrobat 7 standard the fonts from the .eps file gets garbled when read on the PC. Use local fonts seems to cure this problem, but I took the pdf file and opened it in Acrobat 8 and got this message. "Cannot extract the embedded font 'XYSNP+Trajan-Regular'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." Now all the surrounding text in Trajan that was input from Quark 6.5 changes to a different font when printed. Would switching to an Opentype version of the font solve this problem?
Thanks

I have been having the same sort of problem but with Illustrator CS3, Photoshop CS3, InDesign CS2, and Acrobat 8 Professional. I am the only Mac in the building (brand new system), everyone else is on PC. I am only getting the font issue with the Optima family. The school I work for purchased the font as a PostScript Type 1 outline font. We were guessing that I might be having issues because I am on a Mac.
When working in InDesign, I have to print off most of my pieces on an inkjet printer, if I try to print to a xerox laser, Indesign crashes or pops up with an error "There is a problem with the font Optima." I have been using both methods for creating a pdf in indesign:exporting to and printing as.
If I use the optima font in Illustrator I get a "can't print the illustration. There's a bad font used in the system" error.
When I create PDF's through Indesign, the PDF turns out fine on-screen, but the error message pops up "Cannot extract the embedded font 'XQFZSM+Optima'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."
When I try to print the PDF out on either a laser or inkjet printer, the optima font has a lot of missing letters or is replaced by a different font.
This has been very frustrating. The weird thing is that it doesnt happen with all projects that use the optima font. I have done some very small projects (envelopes, postcards) and have either had an issue or no issue at all with optima; and Ive worked on larger projects (magazines, newsletters) and have almost always-from what I can remember-had a problem.
Is this something that I can fix with program settings? Or would a Mac compatible font be the solution?
Thanks

Dr. Damien's Development - The Xylophone Project X - Font Issues and Front Panel Layout

The Show Raw Data button was made active in this installment. Doing this in a robust fashion was more involved than one might think, due to font and platform issues (remember I want to port this to a Windows Mobile device eventually). The following changes were made.
The A frequency indicator was made active. This was an oversight from the last update.
A front panel object, XylophoneFP.lvclass, was created to hold the front panel references and methods.
The front panel object was used to implement the Show Raw Data button.
The front panel object was used to compensate for font issues.
When testing this application on Windows Vista, I noticed that the font differences between Vista and XP were annoying enough that I wanted to fix them. This will also lay the groundwork for any layout issues when porting to Windows Mobile. Usually, I create a cluster containing all my front panel references, but this time I put them into an object. Besides the usual object boilerplate, there are two methods, one to rearrange the front panel and one to show/hide the data graphs.
Once the controls and indicators are properly arranged, showing and hiding the data graphs is simple. VI server methods are used to find the edges of the outer controls, some whitespace is added, then the front panel size is reset. Arranging the controls in the first place is much more complex. Dialog controls are used, and these controls change size based on the default font size. Font sizes can change due to user preference or when using the application in a different operating system than it was developed in. Button sizes can also change due to localization.
This problem is difficult to solve cleanly, and the VI which does this, XylFP.lvlib:XylophoneFP.lvclass:ArrangeControls.vi, shows the problem. It relies on the actual sizes of the controls/indicators to rearrange the front panel in a hopefully pleasing fashion. Even though this is a relatively simple UI, the VI is fairly complex. It uses VI server calls to determine the current sizes of controls and then rearrange them. If you choose to do something similar, consider the following hints:
The Bounds property of all controls is not writable. To change the size of controls, you need to find the property or properties which change the size. There may be more than one (which is why Bounds is not writable). For example, to change the size of a boolean, use the Button Size property.
In many cases, the property you use to change the size of the control will not be the same value as the Bounds property. Using the boolean again, the Bounds of a 3D LED include the 3D effect around the LED, but the Button Size only includes the LED itself. Comparing the Bounds property to the result of a query to the property you will be setting will give you the necessary offset to convert between the two.
Make sure you label your wires if you attempt to do things like this. Long wires are very common in this type of programming. It is difficult enough to keep track of things without the added aggravation of having the trace wires back to their source to identify them.
A few judiciously placed type converters can eliminate many type conversion dots. This is not usually a real problem in this context, but you should get into the habit of efficient programming.
I will be hiking through the mountains of New Mexico with the Boy Scouts for the next couple of weeks, so do not be dismayed if I do not reply to comments very quickly. However, comments and suggestions are still welcome and encouraged. I will reply when I return.

It is simpler but you give up any multi CPU performance. That LV is inherently parallel is one (the only) real advantage over a text based development system. I can write good structured text that is almost as visually easy to parse as LV. With modern syntax coloring engines, the difference in icons vs. structured text is not that great.
But the challenge I give the traditional text coders is to keep track of many mulitple threads. This is why dataflow is a powerful concept. Yes it does lead to asynchronous execution but if you impose synchronicity on your code you are working against LV. I get most first time programs where everything is in a sequence structure. "Just to be safe".
Of course this is much better but my first design goal is that any application should take advantage of a much hardware as possible, degrade gracefully on slower hardware and play nice with other running applications. This simpler structure severely handicaps that first goal.
In this case it is simple enough to "get away" with it since as you point out that there should not be anything that takes significant CPU time. But that may not be true on the PDA?
If you are going to run it on the PDA will we be discussing techniques to seamlessly use both NIDAQmx Base and NIDAQmx in the same system? That is a real challenge. I look forward to more of this!
Cheers!

Font issue with Safari

I've read of others having font issues with Safari 5.1 and Lion, but I still have Snow Leopard and am having an issue with some fonts showing as a block of As. This occurred when I set up Suitcase Fusion 3, but I did not touch any system fonts. I was able to solve part of the issue with activating Arial in the font manager, but some areas still do not reveal font, most notably, areas marked for username/password on forms. Any ideas? Btw, I do not seem to have a problem in Chrome or Firefox.

Thanks, Carolyn. I use a third party font manager but disabling it is not an answer for me. I put some fonts back into the user folder (never touched the fonts in the system library) and resolved SOME of the "A" issues, but not all. I have no problem in Chrome or Firefox. I've tried multiple solutions in the past couple days, including this fix for sandboxing conflict http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20087102-263/webkit-sandboxing-conflict-cau ses-safari-block-a-font-problem/ but then I got permission errors when I tried to change the file. I'm not even running Lion and I'm having this issue.
