iI've been using konsole for my terminal for a while, mainly |
|
ibecause I was a KDE user and it came with it. I really like that |
|
iit supports the ligatures that are in my font of choice, Firacode. |
|
iI also like that it supports all the colors I want, and |
|
iI customized that scheme really well. Beyond that, I don't like |
|
ithat it's part of a window manager i don't use anymore. I don't |
|
ilike the amount of resources it pulls in. I don't like that |
|
iI can't change the settings anymore because I hid the menu and |
|
ican't remember how to un-hide it (it should be a dotfile!). |
|
i |
|
iSo, I've been trying to go to xterm instead. Woo. As of tonight |
|
iI got my xresources file working well enough that my fonts are at |
|
ithe right size and my color scheme is solid. I have been having |
|
ia hell of a time getting unicode characters to display properly, |
|
ithough. After lots of reading, I think I know the problem: I can't |
|
ifigure out how to format my firacode fontName line to include the |
|
icharacter encoding. I changed it to -misc-fixed-... and it's |
|
icoming out right. I thought I could use xfontsel to figure it out, |
|
ibut I guess that only works with bitmap fonts, or maybe I don't |
|
iknow what I'm doing. xlsfonts gives me a nice list, but only for |
|
isystem fonts (I think) not those in a ~/.fonts folder. |
|
i |
|
iNext steps: get firacode working with unicode in xterm or uxterm. |
|
iThen, double check that tmux copypasta still works like it should. |
|
iFinally, get copy & paste working over SSH/mosh. |
|
i |
|
iAny advice from the peanut gallery? |
