Terminus font #10

Open kierun opened 11 years ago

kierun commented 11 years ago

As a feature request, could I ask for the terminus font to be added? It used to be patched from the old vim-powerline-fonts so it should not be too much trouble.

Thank you.

The font patcher doesn't support bitmap fonts. You could draw the glyphs yourself in e.g. gbdfed and submit the font as a PR to this repo if you want.

I could do that indeed.... If I had any skills (or sadly, the time) whatsoever! ^_^; I would not even know where to start.

If no one else does it, I will try but that may take some time.

I upgraded to powerline a few days ago and am using the old terminus fonts that were provided on the vim-powerline wiki. So far, so good. If you wanted, I could clone, add them and submit a pull request. But I kind of assume you already have them so can add them yourself. If not, let me know and I shall do that.

Ah, a problem with me submitting the font as was. I do not have a record of who modified it in the first place and do not want to take credit for work I have not done.

Terminus support would be great :)

What exactly is needed to make a font work with powerline? Are you swapping some specific characters? In that case it should work using bitmap fonts too, right?

I'm using vim in uxterm using the Terminus font with a faceSize of 7.

Terminus works fine provided that you have a backup font containing the special symbols.

Hm, how would I set a backup font for xterm?

kierun commented 11 years ago

This is what I use for urxvt, hopefully you can use something similar for xterm.

urxvt*font: xft:Terminus:pixelsize=12,xft:Inconsolata\ for\ Powerline:pixelsize=12

This goes into your ~/.Xdefault file.

dbrgn commented 11 years ago

I guess that only works for urxvt, not for uxterm. But never mind, I switched to DejaVu Sans Mono, which works great and looks nice :)

There's this non-bitmap version of the Terminus font available that you can throw xft on: http://www.ax86.net/2009/11/03/generating-up-to-date-ttf-files-for-the-terminus-font
