fauxm: the hardcoded font path dirs in clx-truetype has bitten me too; it makes it really hard to use on nixos

I briefly looked into making stumpwm use cl-freetype2 (which uses CFFI bindings to the actual freetype library) instead of clx-truetype (which is native lisp but only implements like 15% of what freetype does)

but I did not follow through with that - I don't really know CL and it would have been more time consuming than I could justify for it

sometimes stumpwm will just lose a window if I'm switching between groups quickly enough

fauxm
seems to almost exclusively happen with my terminal emulator, although it happens with multiple terminal emulators

I've had dit just up and delete a group that had a window in it without prompting whatsoever

fortunately wmctrl can focus it, so I have a key bound to a command called "unfuck-window" that calls wmctrl in selection mode

and there's still a lot of weird hacking and messing around (even more than X alone) you have to do with it

never had stumpwm lose a window permanently, but it frequently behaves as if "forgetting" about a window or (the other way) moving it, as I change groups quickly

(set-font (make-instance 'xft:font :family "Hack" :subfamily "Regular" :size 9 :antialias t))

i have the width problem with and without :antialias, for any value of :size, :family or :subfamily

RE font/graphics settings in linux, I wish there was a way to dump the entire runtime config of every component into a single place for review

it's something I recently discovered about dovecot&postfix and started to like very much

you can have a dozen configs changing a lot of stuff, but you can have the program dump a combined diff between what all those configs say and default values
