#UXTERM FONT INSTALL#

My recommendation is termit with my configuration which allows you to change font size dynamically with C-plus and C-minus. Or use a more modern terminal - xterm is ubiquitous since the 80's but you might find another term easier to configure. Here's what I've done since installing, created a ~/.xinitrc tht I copied from the default one in /etc, except I changed the last couple lines from: twm &Įxec xterm -geometry 80圆6+0+0 -name loginĮxec i3 -V > ~/i3logs/i3log-$(date +'%F-%k-%M-%S') 2>&1Īnd also created a ~/.Xresources that only has the following in it: XTerm*faceName: DejaVu Sans Monoīut again, for some reason, every time I create a new terminal (besides the two that pop up on startx) the font size is way too small. Maybe check current settings with: xrdb -query.

When I launch an xterm terminal, what resources does the window manager use to configure it? It seems like the resources the wm uses when I launch it as a whole are different than the ones it uses when I individually create windows within it. If you run man xterm and go down to the RESOURCES section, you can find a wealth of. All new xterm s should now have the font change.

From here, you can either restart X or run xrdb -merge /.Xresources in a terminal to incorporate the changes you've made. This is how you configure them for XTerm: Install any font you want from the repositories There are lots in the Ubuntu repositories. I've got it to the point where upon running 'starx' I'll get two windows with terminals of the font size that I want, however every other terminal I create in i3 will have the smaller font. This informs xterm to use the 'fixed' font at size 18. I'm trying to explore more fun stuff and would greatly appreciate any help!!Īnyways, I've found that the font size is way too small and have tried doing multiple things to change it. Hello! I recently installed i3 on an arch linux machine, first time ever working on anything other than windows.
