Since I wrote all this up, first in support, I figured why not still post, but elsewhere. Let's keep the timeline intact.
Back to the present.Hi all.
fontA = font in question
So today, out of nowhere, I lost my font! I switched from fontA to fontB. No reason other than for the sake of changing it. At some point in the next little bit, I went to switch back. Merged xresources, attempted to open a new terminal, and nothing. Switched to tty1 to see the error which was the typicalSo checkedCode: Select all
urxvt unable to load base fontset .... blah". WFT
and it was there. So even though nothing happened in between the font changing, no upgrade, nothing new, no other issues, I double checked syntax.Code: Select all
xlsfonts|grep fontA
Then I took the same font string from xresource file to append to with -fnAnd that works. Also is everything else works fine, such as notifications, dmenu, and lemonbar which is getting the font from xresouces. Essentially, it works everywhere except in urxvt unless I specify in -fn.Code: Select all
urxvt -fn fontA
Evenas expected, provides fontA.Code: Select all
xrdb -query all
Did the font.pcf get corrupted somehow? I replaced it with the same from my github, and still the same.
Reminder, this font was working like minutes before and still does everywhere its used automatically, and manually in urxvt.
Even blew away the whole directory and recreated, still nothing.
Also did aYeah, I'm baffled too.Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install --reinstall rxvt-unicode-256color
I've done everything I know to do with fc-cache, xset +fp, blah, blah, blah.
So in the meantime I have changed my config.h for 2bwm toand that of course works fine. Very strange indeed.Code: Select all
"urxvt", "-fn", "fontA" ...
Not even sure what else could be tried. But i thought I'd throw it out there, if nothing else, but for an interesting topic.
This is the font as should be
Code: Select all
-spectrum-berry-medium-r-normal-sans-11-80-75-75-m-50-iso10646-1
Code: Select all
> xrdb -query all|grep font
*font: -spectrum-berry-medium-r-normal-sans-11-80-75-75-#796a70-50-iso10646-1
And in my included colorfile, as I use the define method, In making a change I made mag just m, so as to not get sourced. So I had
Code: Select all
#define m #796a70
