Support Software & Applications

It seems that xos4 Terminus was installed out of the box with Manjaro.

I installed Alacritty, Minecraft launcher and Discord.

  1. I run Alacritty. I use xos4 Terminus for its main font.
  2. I run fc-list > before.txt
  3. I run either Minecraft launcher or Discord.
  4. In Alacritty I run fc-list > after.txt.
  5. Here is the diff before.txt after.txt:

I can fix it with fc-cache -f, but I want a permanent solution.

UPD: yeah, reinstalling terminus-font is not a solution, it fixes just temporarily. Also, the font files are ok, there’s like a bug in fontconfig or something.

UPD2: I use Xfce4.

So, nobody?

3

can you reinstall font??

4

Yes, I can. Read last words in first message.

I made some research, and realized that the Terminus font disappears because of installed TTF version of Terminus font. So, if you have installed both xos4 Terminus and Terminus (TTF), xos4 Terminus font disappears right after you run Minecraft launcher or Discord.

Will dig further.

UPD: nope, xos4 Terminus still disappears after Minecraft or Discord, even if you’ll uninstall Terminus (TTF)…

did it work??

8

Still no. I must do more research.
