Changing font to Droid Sans

[orschiro]

Hi @ttygde,

Thanks very much for pokoy! It is a very helpful application to not remain focused on the screen for too long. :)

I have one question. I would like to use Droid Sans as my default font. I created the following config file but it is not applying Droid Sans. Do you have any idea how to use an Xft font?

Thanks very much for your help!

Robert

~ cat ~/.pokoyrc

Hello. Thanks for feedback. I do not implement xft fonts support.
You should use XLFD.

Thanks for your quick response! From the available XLFD fonts I would like to use Dejavu Sans Mono.

I will need to figure out, however, why the font cannot be loaded.

~ xterm -fn "-*-dejavu sans mono-medium-r-normal--*-80-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1"
xterm: cannot load font '-*-dejavu sans mono-medium-r-normal--*-80-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1'
xterm: cannot load font '-*-dejavu sans mono-medium-r-normal--*-80-*-*-*-*-iso10646-1'

This is strange because I have installed the ttf-dejavu-ib 2.34-12 package from Bohoomil's infinality repo. This package should contain Dejavu Sans Mono.

This font from package ttf-dejavu loads fine. You can use xfontsel to see available fonts.

I will just stick to the default font. Thanks for your support!
