15:45:52TeMPOraLi'm trying to change the font in stumpwm, and after spending an hour fighting with linux font cache, i finally managed to get clx-truetype to pick the font up
15:46:04TeMPOraLbut if I then (set-font ...) on that, the result is ultra-thin text
15:46:14TeMPOraLdid anyone else have this problem? is there a known fix/workaround?
15:47:12TeMPOraLi'm testing this with different fonts, including system ones, and all come out superthin, like ~20% of the correct width
15:50:25drdoTeMPOraL: Works well on my machine, using a plugin that's in stumpwm-contrib
17:11:11fauxmI have had to annoyingly wrangle with the font cache and whatnot though
17:11:59fauxmwhat's worse is that either clx-truetype or the ttf-fonts module hardcodes font path dirs so it doesn't work on systems (like FreeBSD) that use a different fs hierarchy
17:12:46fauxmat any rate, what's your font settings?
17:13:09TeMPOraLfauxm: clx-truetype has it technically in a special variable, but changing it didn't work until I gave up and find an apt-gettable font pack
17:13:19TeMPOraLI'm trying to get Hack to work, but the problem happens with any other TTF font as well
17:13:44TeMPOraLdefine font settings; I didn't realize there's anything to set...
17:14:57fauxmI mean like the (set-font (make-instance 'xft:font)) thing
17:15:28fauxmI have mine set to :family "Consolas" :subfamily "Italic" :size *font-size* (*font-size* is dependent on my hostname)
