| 2022-06-29 16:25:56 | <mantis_one> | Hi everyone, Could anybody help me? |
| 2022-06-29 16:25:56 | <mantis_one> | When I try to recompile XMonad sends an xmessage error in weird fonts. I've always had that issue on Manjaro and I have solved it installing xorg-fonts. Now is happening again and even though xfontsel is showing alphabetical letters I receive this error message when recompiling xmonad: "Warning: Cannot convert string |
| 2022-06-29 16:25:57 | <mantis_one> | "-*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-fixed-*-*-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-*-*-*-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontSet" |
| 2022-06-29 16:35:42 | <geekosaur> | xmonad itself doesn't use fonts, so that must be xmessage.it is possible that manjaro has dropped support for bitmapped fonts entirely, I guess, in which case you need a replacement for xmessage |
| 2022-06-29 16:36:14 | <geekosaur> | (although if they dropped bitmap fonts they should really also drop the programs that only support bitmapped fonts) |
| 2022-06-29 16:40:12 | <geekosaur> | (I have such a replacement but it doesn't seem to work right now; I need to switch it to debugging mode and see what the change to use it throughout core and contrib did…) |
| 2022-06-29 16:44:30 | <mantis_one> | Hi, thanks for the reply geekosaur Yes it's an xmessage issue you are right, the problem for me is that it's where the xmonad error appear. When I do xmessage "Hello World" it prints fine, it just sends a warning (Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion), but it works. I have a doubt here, it's saying it's trying to convert a |
| 2022-06-29 16:44:30 | <mantis_one> | string with 3 logical font descriptions, shouldn't it be just one? and where does that string comes from? Maybe I could change it. |
| 2022-06-29 16:45:16 | <geekosaur> | I expect it's from the app-defaults file |
| 2022-06-29 16:45:25 | <mantis_one> | OK |
| 2022-06-29 16:45:25 | <geekosaur> | we don't pass a FontSet |
| 2022-06-29 16:45:30 | <mantis_one> | got it |
| 2022-06-29 16:45:50 | <mantis_one> | I'll search the xmessage files |

| 2022-06-29 16:54:05 | <geekosaur> | bleh |
| 2022-06-29 16:54:15 | <geekosaur> | at least I know why my wrapper stopped working |
| 2022-06-29 16:54:56 | <geekosaur> | so that means none of those fonts can be resolved, which means xorg-fonts isn't installing bitmapped fonts any more |
| 2022-06-29 16:55:12 | <geekosaur> | and xmessage can't use xft fonts |
| 2022-06-29 16:57:18 | <mantis_one> | Solid: thanks! Guys, that's exactly the message I'm receiving. The first font description I don't have it. Is that why is sending me an error? |
| 2022-06-29 17:00:49 | <geekosaur> | it should fall back to the others if the first fails, or at least that's the intent |
| 2022-06-29 17:02:11 | <geekosaur> | actually it's sending you a warning and it produces that warning if any of the specified fonts fails to load |
| 2022-06-29 17:02:23 | <geekosaur> | it will generate an error if none of them can be loaded |
| 2022-06-29 17:03:14 | <mantis_one> | so it's loading a font |
| 2022-06-29 17:03:49 | <mantis_one> | I got a warning not an error |
| 2022-06-29 17:04:43 | <geekosaur> | right, and as long as it displays something it should be okay. (sadly that's not guaranteed) |
| 2022-06-29 17:05:12 | <geekosaur> | I wonder if we can at least specify the charset at the end so people don't get smacked with unexpected BIG5 or etc. |
| 2022-06-29 17:14:37 | <mantis_one> | OK, so as I said, this similarly, has always happened on manjaro, but when I added a font on .Xresources it fixed the issue. Now xmessage is printing fine when I do it on my own, but printing the weird "manjaro default font" when I recompile xmonad. |
| 2022-06-29 17:16:05 | <mantis_one> | Wyh could this be happening? |
| 2022-06-29 17:16:12 | <mantis_one> | *Why |
| 2022-06-29 17:21:43 | <geekosaur> | I don't know. bitmap fonts are server-side so user config shouldn't matter |
| 2022-06-29 17:22:57 | <geekosaur> | well, actually, that suggests that xmessage's default font (including default size) is found but the one forced with -xrm isn't |
| 2022-06-29 17:23:12 | <geekosaur> | I think the only size guaranteed to be around is 10 |
| 2022-06-29 17:23:50 | <geekosaur> | you may need to install a package with some scalable fonts |
| 2022-06-29 17:24:06 | <geekosaur> | non-xft scalable fonts (probably adobe type1) |
| 2022-06-29 17:24:32 | <mantis_one> | let me try that |
| 2022-06-29 17:25:04 | <geekosaur> | or we should change the -xrm we send to use size 10 instead of 18 |
| 2022-06-29 17:30:54 | <mantis_one> | will https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/adobe-base-14-fonts be OK? It says adobe type1 |
| 2022-06-29 17:33:17 | <mantis_one> | it didn't work :( |
| 2022-06-29 17:38:23 | <geekosaur[m]> | You would either need to log out and back in, or manually add the font path with `xset fp+` followed by the directory containing the fonts |
| 2022-06-29 17:39:36 | <geekosaur[m]> | The X11 startup removes directories that are empty from the font path |
| 2022-06-29 17:39:50 | <mantis_one> | I'll log out |

| 2022-06-29 17:54:16 | <geekosaur> | that sounds very wrong, like it removed the other bitmapped fonts |

| 2022-06-29 18:01:48 | <geekosaur> | if it uninstalled xorg-fonts then uninstalling it won't have brought the other one back. but also check your .Xresources change |

| 2022-06-29 18:02:05 | <geekosaur> | maybe you should try something like nixos |
