change font, background color

[keshav7]

Hi
I wanted to change the font and color for a terminal. How can i do that. Tried some values in setFont() in BufferPanel in 'terminal.debug' however no font but the default provided viz "Monospaced-14" seems to be the one which is displayed properly.

Thanks
Keshav

Hi,
Please have a look at com.jediterm.terminal.ui.settings.SettingsProvider.java
This contains everything you are looking for.

An implementation example is available in com.jediterm.terminal.ui.settings.DefaultSettingsProvider.java

Regards,

Hi Plonk
I tried some values(Arial,other popular fonts). However the output is very scrambled and seems no other font but the one provided seems t be displayed properly

Hi Keshav, what OS do you running the terminal on?

Hi
im currently running on windows

The font you choose have to be monospaced for proper rendering.

If this is the case, can you please attach a screenshot, and tell us which Windows version, Java version, and font are you using?

Hi Plonk
I am using:
Java version: 1.7.0_25
Windows 7
Font as 'Arial'

Keshav, indeed the output looks not very nice. But the thing that should be done here is not to use Arial font nor any other non-monospaced one. To look good the font in terminal should be monospaced as Plonk has already mentioned.

I'd recommend to use Consolas or Source Code Pro on Windows.
