Xresources so that if the default one doesn't have some unicode characters, the additional one can display them? While one could make font sets using bitmap fonts, which would allow one to do what's asked in the question:Ĭan I have an additional font in my. You can specify in your X resources which file to use by prefixing the resources with XTerm or UXTerm, respectively. If the locale does not use UTF-8 encoding, you are able to change these menu entries and see the resulting differences. If your locale uses UTF-8 encoding (and if the locale resource uses the default value), then xterm pre-selects these menu items and disables them from being changed.
Xterm has menu items for UTF-8 Encoding and UTF-8 Fonts.
#Uxterm manual manual#
The uxterm script selects the latter at startup using the -class option, but as described in the manual page, xterm will automatically select the utf8Fonts at startup based on the locale settings. There is more than one app-defaults file because that seemed a simpler solution than the utf8Fonts arrangement. But they have only 192 characters (256 - 64 control characters), while the bitmap UTF-8 fonts have thousands. Those short names are (as detailed in xterm cannot load font) aliases for ISO-8859-1 fonts, which (unsuprisingly given the history of UTF-8) have the same appearance as the UTF-8 fonts. Just reading the XTerm app-defaults file, most users would not notice that the non-UTF-8 fonts given here look something like the UTF-8 fonts: *VT100.font1: nil2 Here is the content from the XTerm app-defaults file: *2: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-8-80-75-75-c-50-iso10646-1 The app-defaults files XTerm and UXTerm have both of these, but in the latter, those Unicode fonts are not inside the utf8Fonts layer. utf8Fonts.font, etc., are Unicode fonts., font6 are the conventional fonts dating back to X11R4. because it does more than just executing a single command ) then you also need to have that script readable and executable in guest's $PATH for the Thunar custom action to work. Since the custom action not uses my script and calls ffprobe directly (as seen that my script from the first post above does only that as well) my script is not needed using a script instead (e.g. The xfce4-terminal opened and was empty for a second or such waiting for ffprobe to collect its info.
I recall from its man page that it has some global settings in /etc/ or such.Īnd for the convenience of our forum visitors: 4 screenshots showing how easily that is set up (shot 1 & 2) and what it looks like in practice (shot 3 & 4) I choose donald's solution for now since I did not manage to set up uxterm running with a larger font size.
It is still 3 ways doing it since #1 from ncmprhnsbl is the same as the suggestion by donald (difference: using uxterm or using xfce4-terminal ) I presume the saved settings for xfce4-terminal - especially the larger than standard font size (DejaVu Sans Mono Book 16) since I run my 5.0rc3 on a FullHD monitor - will also be used by that command, especially since all other manually started xfce4-terminal do also use my adapted settings. Which would also be okay since it forces me to create something new, script-wise, and that is excellent mental training.Ĭauses the terminal to be kept around after the child command has If that is not possible, then I need to put the info from ffprobe into one of the script based window-creators (whatever you call these) like the info window activate or deactivate opens when started in the GUI. in uxterm.Ĭan that be set so it is possible to start certain commands (like the above) in uxterm? And how do I set that up in XFCE (V4.12) All happens in an invisible background process.Īnd in XFCE, I see no option to start that command e.g. a mp3, mp3, whatever music or video file.īut in XFCE, there is no window opening. And it should be an option to be executed when opening the context menu, aka "Open with other application" when clicking on a multimedia file, e.g.
The issue: it is meant to be started in the GUI, or else I would not need the read command at the end.
