<0> Hi. I have a question about artwiz fonts. I'm on KDE and so far I have my fontset about Bitstream Vera, which looks nice. Artwiz looks interesting and you fluxbox people use that more often.
<1> we do?
<0> Some time ago when I used fluxbox a lot of flux themes were using artwiz.
<1> I'm still missing the question
<0> Just want to know which artwiz fonts look good and readable for a desktop environment.
<1> why don't you just try them and see which ones you like?
<0> Is there a base font a standard?
<2> paoleela: snap and anorexia
<2> i mean, they look good
<2> i use them
<0> Yea maybe I just try. But it's hard to say, with fonts it's hard to decide but the comfort and feeling is hardly affected by fonts.
<0> On gentoo there are these ebuilds:
<2> my comfort is provided by snap, anorexia and terminus
<0> [N] media-fonts/artwiz-aleczapka-en (): Artwiz Aleczapko fonts
<0> [I] media-fonts/artwiz-fonts (2.4): Artwiz Fonts
<1> just try them
<1> goodness
<0> thanks, just to have a starting point.
<3> paoleela: I think you want media-fonts/artwiz-fonts, not the other one.
<1> xfontsel
<0> Basically gentoo has so many fonts ebuilds, hard to decide.
<2> easy
<1> too bad
<2> artwiz and terminus
<4> emerge them all.
<5> yeah, ALL...this will take enough time
<2> not for 400mbit connection user ;)
<1> no, it won't; there really aren't that many
<0> sony fonts, sun fonts, several bitstream packages, type1, ttf, ...
<5> is it just me or is the "i ask dumb questions instead of trying myself" day?
<1> half the font packages are duplicates in different sizes, anyway
<1> I don't know, tenner; this is my first today
<0> Having all is not a question of installing. I remember a lot of years ago, then I used windows (long before) and coreldraw I took all 300 fonts and every letter or invitation I couldn't decide which font.
<1> paoleela: we don't care; choose a font you like; we can't tell you what you like
<5> one guy asked dumb questions about 1.5 hours and he didn't know anything
<1> the fact that you insist on making the decision harder than it is is not our problem
<0> Stalwart: thanks for the hint.
<0> bye
<2> o.O
<5> paoleela: seriously, how can other people say what you will like?
<5> this doesnt make sense at all
<5> to me (and some others) the artwiz fonts are not usuable for a term
<5> nor for anything else
<5> menu.title maybe
<5> besides that: you're on kde
<1> tenner: you're talking to yourself again
<6> lol
<5> no. just no ones is responding
<6> I am
<5> but i'm heard
<5> :)
<5> crap, you're right
<0> In a window manager channel, design and font questions are a thing of interest. Even fonts require experience, concerning readability. I see myself switching every week.
<0> It's like looking in a bad screen, after a while you don't notice anymore but feel uncomfortable:)
<1> no, they're not; they're never of interest because we can't tell you what you like
<1> if you're having technical problems with it, we can help
<0> Yea but I knew in #fluxbox there are people who like artwiz, look at the subject.
<1> yeah, it tells you where to get them
<1> not whether or not you like them
<0> :) ok
<1> would you like me to tell you where to get them?
<0> emerge
<7> Hey
<7> Is it possible to use keycodes in the fluxbox hotkey file?
<4> yes.
<7> And how would I accomplish this?
<1> with a keyboard
<7> I mean how would I tell it to respond to something like keycode 137?
<1> 137
<7> I expected a prefix or something
<7> Heh, thanks
<0> _markt: My friend, I got a technical question:) Do I need the FontPath in xorg.conf in order to use artwiz? FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/artwiz/"
<4> yes
<7> yea, that didn't work...
<1> I didn't have to change anything
<1> oh, it was already in there 8)
<5> http://fluxbox-wiki.org/index.php/Howto_install_fonts
<5> might help
