Fixed font with Cyrillic support #13333

Closed AleXoundOS closed 7 months ago

AleXoundOS commented 4 years ago

Want to use Fixed family font in spacemacs.

If I set:

dotspacemacs-default-font '("-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--13-120-75-75-C-70-ISO10646-1"
                           :powerline-scale 1.1)

it works for Latin charset, but not for Cyrillic. For, example, it looks like this . Latin characters are in 7x13, but Cyrillic appear in 12x13, apparently.

Solution is to add

  (set-fontset-font t 'unicode  "-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--13-120-75-75-C-70-ISO10646-1" nil 'prepend)

to user-init section of spacemacs configuration.

Correct 7x13 Cyrillic font display: .

After some upgrades of emacs and other system packages the required expression in user-init has changed to:

  (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" 'unicode
                    "-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal-nil-13-120-75-75-C-70-*-*" nil 'prepend)

At the same time the dotspacemacs-default-font option has to be set to one of:

dotspacemacs-default-font '("-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal-nil-13-120-75-75-C-70-*-*" )

 dotspacemacs-default-font '("Fixed"
                             :lang nil
                             :size 13)

P.S. Still, I think this is the best programming font suited for 14″ displays.

The workaround no longer works. At least with emacs 27.1, 27.2, 28.0.90, 29.0.50. But most likely the problem is connected with some system libraries.
