spleen as console font
From what I read, spleen has been the default console font on OpenBSD for several months now.
I have 2 problems: 1) On the console, certain characters (apostrophes) do not show up correctly. 2) Following the instructions at: https://github.com/fcambus/spleen for how to use this font in xterm by editing Xdefaults returns: xterm: did not find a usable bold TrueType font. The line is: XTerm*faceName: spleenixelsize=16:antialias=false I have the following in my .xsession: xset fp default for font in /usr/local/share/fonts/* ; do xset fp+ $font done xset fp rehash Is this correct or am I doing something wrong? Thank you |

spleen as console font
Thank you for replying, jggimi. Unfortunately, I'm still confused about the console.
If spleen is the default console font then shouldn't it just work? On my ThinkPad x220 certain characters (apostrophes for example) do not show up correctly. I read the FAQ section on keyboard and display controls but since I use the drm driver I don't see a way to fix this. In an ideal world I'd like to use the Terminus font but I'll take any font that renders properly. Thanks again |

What do they show up as? That might give a clue to what is wrong.

Double quotation marks and apostrophes show up as the letter 'a' under ^. â
I don't know what other information I can give but if there is anything, please let me know. |

Are you setting LC_CTYPE in your ~/.profile or elsewhere?
I had a similar issue with LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8. I mostly saw issues in man pages only in the console. If that's your issue, move that setting out of .profile and into ~.xinitrc or ~.xsession instead. |

I had that line in ~/.kshrc. I moved it into ~/.xsession as you suggested and it solves my problem, altho Idon't understand why. I would have thought xsession and kshrc only came into play when running X and wouldn't affect virtual terminals.
In any case, thank you very much. I sincerely appreciate the help you and others have provided. |

$HOME/.kshrc is usually invoked when ksh(1) is run as an interactive shell. This could happen either in a virtual terminal or under X in an xterm or similar.
