Re: [DNG] Displaying adequately sized UTF8 characters in a terminal
<--snip--> If you wish to play around (view) what the fonts you have installed actually look like, 'apt-get install x11-utils' will provide you with 'xfontsel' which is mouse driven. It also indicates fonts missing from the system that it knows about as 'greyed out' in the menu selection, so you can at least track any missing font down by name. publickey - g4sra@protonmail.com - 0x42E94623.asc Description: application/pgp-keys signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

That displays not only apostrophes, but even an image of an open book, and a square-face robot head. And that fontsize is certainly big enough. :-) Many thanks. That's a lot easier than futzing with a mystery mix of undocumented font commands, and superbly successful.

The netinstall iso was on a UBS; I have writed it using dd as suggested in the Devuan documentation. -- Thanks to some investigation and the inspiration of your suggestions, I realized that the problem could be due to some lock on the disk. And then the first hypothesis was that this could be tied to the presence of W10 on the machine. Indeed W10 had a hanging attempt hanging, and this created the lock on the disc. After restarting W10 and made a clean shutdown, I restarted with the Beowulf 3.1.1 netinstall ISO (USB), and the installation went ahead without further problems. During the partitioning phase, I left unaltered the partitions created by the Windows Installer, and I created in the unused space a new root partition, a separate home partition and the swap partition.

Hi Alessandro,

I guess we all ended up developing something similar. My take:

It's harsh as it assumes the caller _always_ checks return code. The
functions don't check for NULL on entry (albeit they often assert()
it, a passage usually not compiled in production code.) Non-nullness
has to be checked by the caller, for example (from zaggregate.c in the
same package):
if (to_header)
{
to_header = cstr_printf(to_header, "%s %s",
n_addr == 0? "To:": ",", dom->addr[i].addr);
if (to_header && dom->addr[i].limit != UINT64_MAX)
to_header = cstr_printf(to_header, " (limit=%" PRIu64 ")",
dom->addr[i].limit);
++n_addr;
}
Thanks for the link. I'll give it a try.
Cheers,
Aitor.

[DNG] Displaying adequately sized UTF8 characters in a terminal
After having trouble displaying apostrophe and hyphen in recent posts on several lists, I've found that it is not "xterm -u8" or uxterm which are intrinsically deficient, but rather it is my "-fn 10x20" option which is selecting a font size which presumably lacks an adequate utf8 character set. I.e., without the fontsize option, the problem characters display OK. The reason for that option is that even selecting "Huge" at Ctrl-Right_Click gives an unreadably small font size. Does anyone know of a substantial fontsize with a more complete utf8 character set, or a howto on exploring installed X11 fonts and their size and unicode characteristics? Here, fc-list lists many fonts, without any useful size clues, and "fc-match utf8" shows only one font: DejaVuSansttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book" And "xlsfonts | grep utf8" returns nothing. And "xset q" shows: Font Path: /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled,/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi,built-ins Any thoughts on whether: console-setup - console font and keymap setup program might help? Of the squillion font packages available, would there be mileage in installing perhaps the first of: $ apt-cache search font | grep font | grep unicode | more fonts-cmu - sets the computer modern unicode fonts fonts-georgewilliams - Free unicode TrueType fonts by George Williams fonts-junicode - Unicode font for medievalists (Latin, IPA and Runic) fonts-lg-aboriginal - unicode fonts for North-American Aboriginal languages fonts-oflb-euterpe - unicode musical font fonts-senamirmir-washra - collection of unicode fonts for the Ethiopic script xfonts-efont-unicode - /efont/ Unicode fonts for X which cover various scripts xfonts-efont-unicode-ib - /efont/ Unicode fonts for X (italic and bold But what then?
