Can't configure font #5

Closed Anonscholar closed 4 months ago

Anonscholar commented 5 months ago

I am unable to configure the font-family through the theme.conf file. I have tried changing the font family, and then running $ sddm-greeter --test-mode --theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/corners: image

which works perfectly. Exactly as desired. But when I open the login-screen, the font doesn't change. image

I am running hyprland(which I believe is the reason for the issue, being a wayland compositor) on arch. Any idea how I could resolve this issue?

hm... well, by default SDDM uses X11, but you can set it to run on Wayland. since you're testing the greeter on hyprland (aka Wayland), maybe when it's actually running, the font family isn't being recognized on X11?

That did not seem to help whatsoever. I followed the steps shown on the wiki and downloaded weston. But the problem still persists

I would recommend running sddm on Xorg for now (that's what I'm doing, I log into a Wayland session and it works).

Anonscholar commented 4 months ago

Yes well, I switched back to Xorg. Still, I can't identify what the issue with the font is.

Seems like the issue is fixed when I use a native x11 de. Still, thanks!
