foot terminal warning:Noto Sans Regular:font does not appear to be monospace;check config…
,and why does changing dpi setting in wdisplay doesn’t stay persistent after reboot?
… can you please try to be even more terse?
To convey as little information as possible?
… while expecting others to help you
(or hoping for that help)
with a problem you have …
^^
yes ,I will do my best,lol …!
good - I was just looking at your previous activity - and it fits the same pattern
might have been the reason for getting the large amount of responses that you got
…and sofar Arch runs way smoother than manjaro so I’ll stick with that smarty boy!
… and so do I, my slightly salty friend
who is still asking questions here, but does not take the time to include vital information
you could have taken the time to clarify your question instead of snickering
bye now!
You answered your own question. Use monospace font.
Hi @josmo~
I also encountered a similar problem with my foot terminal, it displays the same message as you described
My PBP has a manjaro-arm sway stock installation.
Config files tracing
If you look at the contents of ~/.config/sway/config.d/99-autostart-applications
:
exec --no-startup-id foot --config=$theme/foot.ini --server
you can see that foot is started in server mode and it pulls its configuration from $theme/foot.ini
. The $theme
variable is defined in /etc/sway/definitions
as:
set $theme /etc/sway/themes/matcha-green
Checking the contents of /etc/sway/themes/matcha-green/foot.ini
you can see that the font name is set to be:
font=TerminessTTF Nerd Font Mono:pixelsize=18:fontfeatures=ss01
which is wrong. It appears that the name got changed on the latest package update.
The fix
Running fc-list | grep Terminess
you can see the new name of the font:
...
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/TerminessNerdFontMono-Regular.ttf: Terminess Nerd Font Mono:style=Regular
You can change the contents of /etc/sway/themes/matcha-green/foot.ini
to
font=Terminess Nerd Font Mono:pixelsize=18:fontfeatures=ss01
And you will see the foot terminal display the good font from the stock installation
You can alternative modify ~/.config/sway/config.d/99-autostart-applications
and have foot pull its configuration from the more standard place ~/.config/foot/foot.ini
and provide your own one.
