It works now. Incidentally the original terminus font does not work with ukai font. -- regards, GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3

Does it mean that X will look for glyphs in the following two fonts and stop whenever it will find a font with a necessary glyph? Yes, basically. The manpage for XCreateFontSet provides more details. (I only figured this out yesterday after I already implemented my pango patch.) I hope http://theka.tk/fuckup-1.png gets fixed. Caveat: if any of the patterns doesn't exist on the system, X may just revert to some default. E.g. I tried font[] = -*-terminus-*-*-*- *-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*,-*-ukai-*-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-* and I think X completely ignored 'ukai' because I don't have 'terminus' on my system. Filippo, if you're listening: This probably would be good to put in http://www.suckless.org/dwm/ customisation/font.html
[dwm] 5.2 problems
I have just pull the 5.2 release and start trying it and find some nasty problems when handling the slave area.. Example: * open one pidgin and 20 terminals. the pidgin window changes it size all the time (not all slave windows have the same size). This is because: 1- with resizehints enabled it is possible to loose windows (located outside the screen) 2- without resizehints . the latest window in the slave area heres a shot without resizehints: http://news.nopcode.org/dwm52.png if i close some some terminals the latest window height (pidgin) is reduced, and after some more closed terminals it gets bigger again. is this how it should be? looks quite anoying to me. --pancake
[dwm] more problems with 5.2
i had similar ones with 5.0..but in 5.2 it performs worst. for resizing a window with alt+rightclick the client sometimes loses the focus and makes the cursor go outside the window.. btw for the rest (a part from these two bugs) i found dwm 5.2 a bit faster and more consistent :) --pancake

Example: * open one pidgin and 20 terminals. the pidgin window changes it size all the time (not all slave windows have the same size). This is because: 1- with resizehints enabled it is possible to loose windows (located outside the screen) tile() tries to reduce wasted space with resizehints and pidgin is a window which accepts any size and doesn't set increment hints, that's why it's used as kind of remaining space window in this scenario. 2- without resizehints . the latest window in the slave area heres a shot without resizehints: http://news.nopcode.org/dwm52.png if i close some some terminals the latest window height (pidgin) is reduced, and after some more closed terminals it gets bigger again. is this how it should be? looks quite anoying to me. Hmm, that is really odd if so. The tile height calculation might be very unprecise with big divisors, since we live in integer arithmetic. Better results could be achieved if we use floating point arithmetic instead. I think we should address this issue in 5.3 as well (besides the resize issues with heavy drawing-based apps).

[dwm] [Offtopic] Virtual Server Hosting
Hi, I'm currently searching for a virtual server hosting provider. I tried gandi.net (because suckless.org is hosted there), but as I got to know afterwards they just provide outdated distributions and don't seem to use hardware virtualisation. I'm a bit despaired, because my current hosting contract expires soon, I need a good server as soon as possible. I have established some criteria that have to be fulfilled (sorted by priority): ! Ability to install custom operating systems via CD image (optionally via virtual disk image) ! Hardware virtualisation (AMD-V or Intel VT), so I can install an unmodified kernel and don't have to create own images + 64 MB RAM + 5 GB disk space + Unlimited traffic or cheap prices + Multiple IP addresses possible + Secondary DNS Service Regards, Matthias-Christian
