*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:  Now, you can load a font with ctrl+g : You can use filters to get the font you want easily:  Once the font is loaded, it will look like this:  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.  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! |
