Closed 0x64746b closed 12 years ago
This is a compile-time dependency of wmii, correct? What operating system are you using?
Hmm. I don't think so. I definitely didn't recompile/install wmii after installing libxft2-dev
(which potentially has libxft2
as a dependency?). I'm not sure, though, whether the problem existed before installing rumai.
It's debian wheezy.
Yeah, libxft2-dev
seems to be Debian specific. I'm having issues with groups and tags (on Arch Linux) but I don't think that's related to that library since without sunaku wmiirc they work fine on a default wmii install.
Related to Arch Linux, according to this thread libxft
should take care of ttf related stuff...
Since the problem only appeared with my wmiirc for @0x64746b, I suspect it's because of the xft:
prefix in the value of the display:font
key. Try removing that prefix or specify a traditional X font (use xfontsel
to choose one) instead so that wmii does not attempt to use XFT.
Try removing that prefix
Couldn't find a configuration that made that syntax work for me (specifying a FreeType font)
or specify a traditional X font
Works in any configuration
So specifying a FreeType font (as the generated default config does) only works for me with libxft2-dev
installed (which is a runtime dependency). I have no idea whether this is debian specific, but I still recommend either changing the default or documenting the dependency. Additionally, I don't know whether it is introduced by WMII or by rumai.
libxft2-dev | xft prefix | traditional font | no prefix |
installed | + | + | - |
not installed | - | + | - |
Thx for the support!
That is definitely a WMII dependency because the wmiirc just takes your display:font
value and feeds it directly to WMII. Neither the wmiirc nor Rumai need XFT to run. :cop:
Yeah, well, in this case I think this ticket can be considered invalid. Tx for the consideration anyway.
Without that package, loading ttf (which is the default) will fail. This will lead to client rules not working (group, tags)
I think noting this somewhere would be nice, since debugging that was nasty ;) tia dtk
