Earlier, in my .Xresources I had the following because I got this font from xfontsel
URxvt.font: -*-terminus-*-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-u However, later in the urxvt man page, I found an example of this and it looks much prettier than the terminus font displayed above. URxvt.font:xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:pixelsize=13 I could not find this Bitstream Vera Sans Mono font in xfontsel. I tried it searching it in /usr/share/fonts directory too but found nothing: $ find /usr/share/fonts -iname "*mono*" /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMono.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoOblique.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBold.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeMonoBoldOblique.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-liberation/LiberationMono-Regular.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-liberation/LiberationMono-Italic.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-liberation/LiberationMono-BoldItalic.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-liberation/LiberationMono-Bold.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/Andale_Mono.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansMono-Oblique.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansMono-BoldOblique.ttf /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf How do we get a list of all the fonts that we have? I am using Wheezy and fonts directory looks like this: $ ls /usr/share/fonts/ cmap truetype type1 X11 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
