Font DejaVuSans/10 could not be loaded! #103

$ file /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf: TrueType font data

xlunch only reads fonts from these folders:

The imlib search is not recursive, so any sub-folders will not be searched (as can be seen by the inclusion of both /usr/share/fonts/truetype and /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu. One option would be to also add ttf-dejavu but I think the better option would be to use this and add all sub-folders as fonts-path in imlib.

Can i use simlink?:

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/ -> /usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu

PMunch commented 5 years ago

Not sure really, but it might. Try it!

zvezdochiot commented 5 years ago

Yes! Simlink work.

PMunch commented 5 years ago

Good to hear that symlinks worked. At least you have a workaround until we can add all folders recursively.

For the record, this worked previously. I upgraded from some ancient version today and this is no longer an option:

 xlunch -f /usr/share/fonts/google-roboto/RobotoCondensed-Regular.ttf/10
PMunch commented 5 years ago

Are you sure you have the path right? Running xlunch -f <path to font>/<size of font> works fine for me on the latest version.

Note that if you come from a really old version the -f option has been split into -f for the font to use for entry names and -F for the font to use for the prompt.

lzap commented 5 years ago

Yes, pretty sure:

file /usr/share/fonts/google-roboto/RobotoCondensed-Regular.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/google-roboto/RobotoCondensed-Regular.ttf: TrueType Font data, 13 tables, 1st "GDEF", 14 names, Microsoft, language 0x409, Copyright 2011 Google Inc. All Rights Reserved.Roboto CondensedRegularGoogle:Roboto Condensed R

That's very strange, works fine for me with xlunch 4.1.1. Haven't tried that specific font though, but I doubt that's the problem. Does xlunch complain about anything if you run it from a terminal with that parameter?

lzap commented 5 years ago

Damn, apologies solved it. It was -r option which now requires number:

[lzap@box xlunch]$ /home/lzap/work/xlunch/xlunch -r -f /usr/share/fonts/google-roboto/RobotoCondensed-Regular.ttf/10
Font  could not be loaded! Please specify one with -f parameter
[lzap@box xlunch]$ /home/lzap/work/xlunch/xlunch -f /usr/share/fonts/google-roboto/RobotoCondensed-Regular.ttf/10
# now it works

Yeah, a lot of the parameters were renamed or have changed how they work since the early versions. Still a bit strange that you get that error though..
