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 |
things will break down. |
11 |
|
12 |
- rxvt ALWAYS expects utf-8 input, regardless of the locale, currently. |
13 |
so only start it in a utf-8-locale: "LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 rxvt" etc.. |
14 |
|
15 |
- "-fn" commandline switch and *.font ressource accepts a comma |
16 |
seperated list of fontnames: |
17 |
|
18 |
x:9x15bold a x11 font |
19 |
9x15bold the same |
20 |
xft:Andale Mono a xft font |
21 |
xft:Andale Mono:pixelsize=20 |
22 |
|
23 |
- the _first_ font in the list selects the cell width/height. All other fonts |
24 |
must be smaller or same sized, or they will be ignored or worse. xft fonts |
25 |
will automatically be rescaled. |
26 |
|
27 |
- the fonts will be tried in the order given when searching for a font |
28 |
to display a specific character. if you are e.g. mainly interested in |
29 |
japanese you might want to put a japanese font first to get the ascii |
30 |
characters in it. If you are mainly interested in a text terminal and |
31 |
only want to display other characters you should put a ascii/is8859 text |
32 |
font first (e.g. "9x15bold") and let rxvt sort it out. |
33 |
|
34 |
- xft fonts require gobs of memory and generally are slow |
35 |
|
36 |
- src/defaultfont.C lists the fallback fonts that are tried when a character cannot |
37 |
be displayed with the current list of fonts. |
