As a non-American, I wonder what it matters what people set their e-mail
addresses to. Although, yes, I am getting 12-year-old vibes from that
address (similar to the classic bash.org quote, where a guy with the
nickname "h1tler" asks how everyone knew they were 12 years old).

On a more practical note, I have not received the original mail at issue
here. Was it not addressed to dev@? Or was the address so offensive,
some mail provider on the way already filtered it?

Ciao,
Markus

As an American myself, if you're going to make an appeal to American
sensibilities, I believe removing someone from the mailing list on the
basis of skin tone would be considered offensive.

Personally, I don't care much either way & I know you(and Wesley) probably
have good intentions - just wanted to offer my input as an American.

Except that there's no config.def.mk and sometimes changes between local
config.h and the just-pulled one are incompatible.

The idea is that you keep your config.h around when you update the
repository, and then just merge the changes to config.def.h into
config.h. You'd basically carry your config.h forward between versions.

Actually config.def.h is a template, the default configuration, and
probably should be left unmodified.  The rule you mentioned (run by `make
config.h` copies config.def.h into config.h, obviously, and then config.h
is supposed to be edited.

Didn't know that, thanks. What is the reasoning behind having a separate
.def.h in the first place then? Wouldn't editing a local copy of config.h from

you'll also have to zoom webpages

Hello,


How do I tell st to use my desired font size instead of using
Ctrl-Shift-Page Up?

You can configure this via the '-f' flag or 'font' in config.h by appending 
":pixelsize=SIZE" to the font description.
As a example, if you use 'monospace' as a font you will need to use 
'monospace:pixelsize=X' and find your desired font size.

You can check 
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html for more 
properties you can set.

It will work, but more correct would be to change config.def.h, per
Makefile:

config.h: config.def.h
cp config.def.h config.h

Also, in the future you can also try setting different values for
"size=" instead of "pixelsize=", as it works better for some fonts.

Hi,

config.def.h says:
static char *font = "Liberation Mono:pixelsize=12:antialias=true:autohint=true";

st -f "Liberation Mono":pixelsize=16 is my desired size.

I will create a config.h with:
static char *font = "Liberation Mono:pixelsize=16:antialias=true:autohint=true";

And compile with it, is that the correct way to do it?

[dev] st: enlarge font

Hello all,

Recently I bought a new laptop that runs at:
[   144.414] (II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1920 x 1080

st font size is too small and I use Ctrl-Shift-Page Up 3 times to get
desired font size.

How do I tell st to use my desired font size instead of using
Ctrl-Shift-Page Up?
I will need a command to find font geometry and then start st with -g
geometry, I think.
