[SOLVED] Determining Bitmap Font [Terminus/2] Font Mappings

I was wondering there was ageneral rule fo thumb to determine font mappings in say Terminus 2 or other bitmap fonts.
To which escape sequences do the symbols correspond?

Ahh thanks. Had better luck with fontforge instead.

  • [Solved] Determine font used to render a character with fontconfig?

    Hey guys,
    I was curious if there was a way using one of the fc-* fontconfig utilities (or another tool) to determine what font will render a specific glyph in the current configuration.
    For example, if I wanted to know what font would render the '├' glyph when using the 'monospace' font. Obviously I can lookup what font is used for 'monospace' with '$ fc-match monospace', but this doesn't tell me if that font contains the '├' character, and if not, what font in the preferred chain does.

    This appears to be the closest answer!. You can search for a character and right click to find out what font is rendering it.

    Last edited by NAND (2013-01-29 16:13:00)

    There isn't a "tamsynu" family in the tamsyn-font package.  You're trying to use a font that doesn't exist on your machine.
    $ xlsfonts -fn "-*-tamsynu-*"
    xlsfonts: pattern "-*-tamsynu-*" unmatched
    $ xlsfonts -fn "-*-tamsyn-*"
    -misc-tamsyn-bold-r-normal--0-0-100-100-c-0-iso8859-1
    -misc-tamsyn-bold-r-normal--12-87-100-100-c-60-iso8859-1
    << And more >>
    The syntax for the resource is fine, but it is case-sensitive.  The class is 'URxvt', an instance would be 'urxvt'.
    This should be good for a first attempt at the proper size:
    urxvt.font: -misc-tamsyn-medium-r-normal--14-101-100-100-c-70-iso8859-1
    urxvt.boldFont: -misc-tamsyn-bold-r-normal--14-101-100-100-c-70-iso8859-1
    That's about equal to DejaVu Sans Mono at 8 points.
    If you have rebuilt your font cache, either by restarting X or running 'fc-cache -f', and you want to use Xft, then this is equivalent (Tamsyn does not use anti-aliasing):
    urxvt.font: xft:Tamsyn:style=Regular:size=10.1
    urxvt.boldFont: xft:Tamsyn:style=Bold:size=10.1

  • [SOLVED] Unable to see certain glyphs in bitmap fonts

    Could someone help me with the bitmap fonts?  I am using the uushi font for the BAR:  https://github.com/phallus/fonts
    Although I've installed it and am able to use it in my terminal (termite), and SE the glyphs in gbdfed.  I am unable to use the glyphs that are in the high 2xxx hex codes, such as the battery and the headphones icon.
    any ideas?   (also using infinality bundle, don't know if that affect things).
    I even ensured that my termite is using the font.  I can see some glyphs, but not all.
    Edit:  Turns out you have to do " echo -e \u2BFE" in the terminal and the copy and paste it.

  • [solved] vconsole.conf FONT setting is not respected in systemd

    I recently converted my Arch system to a pure systemd setup (as described here), and everything seems to be working as before.
    Well, almost everything.
    Prior to switching over to systemd, I had already moved all config settings (except for the DAEMONS line) out of /etc/rc.conf and into the individual config files, and at that time, I had set up /etc/vconsole.conf as follows:
    KEYMAP=us
    FONT=ter-216n
    FONT_MAP=8859-2
    When running under initscripts, this was working fine, and I would get the nice Terminus font at my console TTYs. Now, running under systemd, the consoles are no longer using Terminus. Instead, I just get the default font (whatever it's called). It's as if the FONT I set in /etc/vconsole.conf is being ignored.
    systemctl reports the following, indicating (I think) that the systemd-vconsole-setup service ran successfully:
    [owner@computer ~]$ systemctl status systemd-vconsole-setup.service
    systemd-vconsole-setup.service - Setup Virtual Console

    So, I'm stuck. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

    Yes, you're right. I have updated my /etc/vconsole.conf accordingly.
    However, I just tested this, and it turns out that my FONT_MAP mistake was not relevant to my original problem.

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … _KMS_start
    Interesting. It turns out that using early KMS start also solves my console font problem. I think I prefer this solution, since it doesn't involve overriding systemd-vconsole-setup.service. Enabling early KMS start feels like a less invasive change. As documented here, I simply added i915 to the MODULES line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, and then rebuilt the /boot/initramfs-* files.

  • Bitmap font on J2ME/MIDP devices

    Hi!
    I want to develop an application that can display my own langue on a mobile phone. I have known that there is a posibility to use a bitmap font(new_font.png) but I dont know how we can do with that.
    Does anyone know where can I find some documentation related to that? Or if you have some sample code that can solve my problem, that would be great.
    There is not yet unicode for my langue so it would be hard for me to do it this project.
    Best regards,

    I found an API on the web but don't remember which one - it is not free, though - but it uses the low-level API of MIDP to create those buttons and boxes.

  • Bitmap Fonts Everywhere

    Can't find peace with AA and subpixels.

  • Font mappings on Solaris

    Hello,
    I am facing a problem with font mappings for Oracle Reports on Unix (Sun Solaris).
    I have the following "Arial Unicode MS" font installed on the Solaris Server, and wish to use it in my reports in the RTF outputs generated.
    /etc/openwin/fontadm_fonts/Arialuni.ttf
    The PATH variable of Solaris has been has been set to include the above "/etc/openwin/fontadm_fonts"
    The TK2_FONTALIAS environment variable has been set to point to the "uifont.ali" file which has the following mapping
    "Arial Unicode MS" = "Arialuni.ttf"
    However, the RTF files generated are with the Courier Font.
    Using any of the following mappings does not work:
    "Arial Unicode MS" = "Arialuni"
    "Arial Unicode MS" = "arial unicode ms"
    "Arial Unicode MS" = helvetica
    utf8 = helvetica
    Any help in this would be appreciated.
    Regards.

    Reports 6 or Reports 9? Note that Reports 6 does not generate
    syntactically correct RTF for Unicode characters.
    We've been running with a postprocessor to correct the RTF and
    to change the Oracle-set font to Arial; I'll be watching to see if
    there's a better way since our postprocessor shouldn't be needed.

  • URxvt poor performance with Bitmap fonts

    I'm trying to use a bitmap font with URxvt terminal and I find the performance is terrible after. If i use an XFT font it works perfect. When I set a bitmap font I can see the screen redraw while scrolling through vim and if another terminal is outputting lots of data the other terminals will slow to a crawl. Also when the terminal gains focus I will see a flicker occur as it redraws the text.
    I tried using XTerm and it does not experience this problem at all. It only seems to be with URXvt that this problem occurs. I've tried several different bitmap fonts and it's the same for all of them. Again XFT works fine.
    Any ideas?

    I don't use testing, but have cairo-xcb installed from AUR, which is version 1.12.0-1. I just tried to replace it with the package in testing, but this did not have any effect. Downgrading cairo-xcb gives problems because of the libpng14 stuff. I will look for the source of a previous version and build it, to see if this is the problem.
    edit...
    You are right, the problem is cairo. I rebuild and installed cairo-xcb 1.10.2 and gvim was as quick as it used to be. When I upgrade it again it slows down.

    Your site was built using tables, whose sizes are defined in your site.
    If we look at your first table definition, we can see:
    <table width="861" height="1449" border="3" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#868787">
    Your table has a width of 861 pixels and an overall height of 1449 pixels. Anything you put into that overall box must fit those dimensions, else
    it won't be visible. Anything you add above it will push everything down. You can redefine your sizing to let you edit more inside of the table elements.
    This is why, when you type in more text, things act weird. If you are in Dreamweaver, you must find the right cell to put your text into and then enter
    text there. Unfortunately, this is going to push things around, which were all lined up using tables. And this gets everything offset with respect to
    everything else in your website.
    And that is why everyone is saying, "Start Over!"
    I just inherited a website that has been put together using tables. I'm going to have to expend considerable effort in rewriting the entire design of the
    website because of that. because everything I intend to add to the pages on the site is going to need to be deconstructed in order to get it to work
    properly if I'm adding text and pictures that need to line up with each other.
    You need something done quick and dirty and the only way I can recommend you do that is to use Dreamweaver to show you the tables you have
    and put what you need in a new table that is defined above or below the tables you all ready have defined. Do that and then get back to someone here
    who knows how to make a website correctly to clean up your entire website and make it editable -- which will cost you some money, but it will be
    money well-spent.
    I like to quote this maxim: Good, Fast, Cheap. Pick any two. This works for website design. You can get it fast and cheap, but it won't be good. I
    think you may have chosen that route.

    This happens only on some websites, and the workarounds found in the wiki articles[1] don't work for me.

    Thanks for sharing this! Your solution works almost perfectly. However, I get regularly the following terminal output (warning messages):

    ...which Should be simple to fix. However, forgive me. I'm not very familiar with the code itself. Any quick help is appreciated.
    The problematic code string states as follows:

  • Flash CS4 can't use arial-keeps changing to arial MT (font mappings - missing fonts)

    I am using Flash CS4 on Windows Server 2003 (i know it sounds strange, but there are reasons).
    I previously had Flash CS2, but ever since I installed CS4 my font mappings have been messed up. Any time I open a fla with any standard fonts (arial, tahoma, etc) it tells me the fonts are missing. When this happens with arial..I set the font mapping back to arial, and everything seems to work fine. Until I try to change a text field to arial. When I do this flash automatically changes it to arial MT. It will not let me use arial. This really isn't a problem until I am using a dynamic text field. Because dynamic text fields use system fonts, so when a user opens one of my swf's on their computer it looks for arial MT not arial. If they don't have arial MT (which most people don't) it changes the font to their system default (usually times new roman).
    The only work around I have found successful is to embed the fonts in the dynamic text field. I really don't want to do this as I am just wanting to use arial. I have search the ends of the internet and can't find anyone else with a similar problem.
    To sum it up...
    My flash cs4 font mappings are messed up. It won't let me use arial. Forces me to use arial MT.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I had an existing Flash website, opened CS4 received Arial font no good.  Looked up the solution. At Microsoft is said that the mappings were confused by the names used for arial, no problems download the patch.
    Next time still the error message PLUS now the fonts come up as a combination of symbols best described as rubbish.  I wanted arial, plain old no nonsense arial.
    Any tips to overcome the patch?
    Also had a crash like this one

    He feels it is not a font problem but a stability issue.

  • Using Bitmap Fonts in MIDlet development

    Any and all help appreciated on this.
    I'm working on this assignment that requires use of bitmap fonts. We need 2 colors of fonts and 2 sizes. What's the best way to approach this?
    Any places that you recommend buying them from and have used in your projects? Wish to stay away from ones that have heavy-duty licensing issues (lack of bandwidth to look into all legal possibilities). Are there any free ones available?
    What are the other catches in this area?
    Thanks,
