*Hello everyone, this is a little tutorial on how to modify or create X11 fonts:*
First you'll need a bitmap font editor: [gbdfed](http://sofia.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/Software....6.tar.bz2). If the compilation fails, comment this from the Makefile: ` -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED \ -DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGDK_PIXBUF_DISABLE_DEPRECATED \ -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED ` Here's how it looks like with the default gtk theme: ![](http://i.imgur.com/gzrOaVc.png) Now, you can load a font with ctrl+g : You can use filters to get the font you want easily: ![](http://i.imgur.com/R2CdsvE.png) Once the font is loaded, it will look like this: ![](http://i.imgur.com/qbndaJV.png) You can modify the font line to use the name you want and you can click on any character to modify it, and click the "V" when you're done. ![](http://i.imgur.com/bB5mYXz.png) You can also add a few cool chars for your bar. When you're done modding or creating the font save it as title.bdf . Now you can convert it to a pcf font by running: PHP Code: bdftopcf -t title.bdf > title.pcf -t is used to have a more terminal friendly font. Now put you font in your font path and you're done! |
