1.1 |
Sketchy overview of the details: |
2 |
|
|
|
3 |
|
|
- gcc is probably required to compile this release, g++, too, as it has |
4 |
|
|
been re-written in C++. |
5 |
|
|
|
6 |
|
|
- the options used in the ./reconf script should work. everything else |
7 |
|
|
might be broken. |
8 |
|
|
|
9 |
|
|
- wchar_t MUST be UNICODE or ISO-10646-1 on your system, or various |
10 |
pcg |
1.2 |
things will break down. On GNU/Linux, this is true, on Solaris, |
11 |
|
|
this is true only for "@ucs" locales, but you should have plenty of them. |
12 |
pcg |
1.1 |
|
13 |
|
|
- rxvt ALWAYS expects utf-8 input, regardless of the locale, currently. |
14 |
|
|
so only start it in a utf-8-locale: "LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 rxvt" etc.. |
15 |
|
|
|
16 |
|
|
- "-fn" commandline switch and *.font ressource accepts a comma |
17 |
|
|
seperated list of fontnames: |
18 |
|
|
|
19 |
|
|
x:9x15bold a x11 font |
20 |
|
|
9x15bold the same |
21 |
|
|
xft:Andale Mono a xft font |
22 |
|
|
xft:Andale Mono:pixelsize=20 |
23 |
|
|
|
24 |
|
|
- the _first_ font in the list selects the cell width/height. All other fonts |
25 |
|
|
must be smaller or same sized, or they will be ignored or worse. xft fonts |
26 |
|
|
will automatically be rescaled. |
27 |
|
|
|
28 |
|
|
- the fonts will be tried in the order given when searching for a font |
29 |
|
|
to display a specific character. if you are e.g. mainly interested in |
30 |
|
|
japanese you might want to put a japanese font first to get the ascii |
31 |
|
|
characters in it. If you are mainly interested in a text terminal and |
32 |
|
|
only want to display other characters you should put a ascii/is8859 text |
33 |
|
|
font first (e.g. "9x15bold") and let rxvt sort it out. |
34 |
|
|
|
35 |
|
|
- xft fonts require gobs of memory and generally are slow |
36 |
|
|
|
37 |
|
|
- src/defaultfont.C lists the fallback fonts that are tried when a character cannot |
38 |
|
|
be displayed with the current list of fonts. |
