Subject: problem opening/loading an X11 font.
Date: Fri, 21 May 2021 00:17:58 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <60A75EA6.9000004@tlinx.org> (raw)
If I use 'xlsfonts' to list my X server fonts, one of them
fonts I am trying to use is "lucidatypewriter-medium".
display xlsfonts and filtering on the family, I get tons:
-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-0-0-100-100-m-0-iso10646-1
-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-0-0-100-100-m-0-iso8859-1
...
-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-11-80-100-100-m-70-iso10646-1
-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-11-80-100-100-m-70-iso8859-1
...
-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-14-100-100-100-m-80-iso10646-1
160 matches of various sizes and encodings....
So in my "~/.Xdefaults", I have tried:
!XTerm*font: -*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
XTerm*font: lucidatypewriter
!XTerm*font:
-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-11-80-100-100-m-70-iso10646-1
full and sparse specification, but no matter, when I run xterm, I get:
xterm: cannot load font
'-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-11-80-100-100-m-70-iso10646-1'
xterm: cannot load font '-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-11-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-'
xterm: cannot load font '-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-'
xterm: cannot load font 'lucidatypewriter-medium'
xterm: cannot load font 'lucidatypewriter-medium'
etc.
How is this possible? xlsfonts displays the font(s), but
an x-prog like xterm can't load any form
Have tried neutering locale as well to no effect.
(LC_ALL=C or POSIX)...
Can't figure out why the font is listed but not loadable??!
Ideas?
Thanks!
