Description of Problem: When setting the default font using 'sawfish-ui' the font setting dialog uses a different font notation than what sawfish exspects. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sawfish-2.0-4 How Reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run command 'sawfish-ui' 2. Select the "Appearence" tab (default) 3. Browse for a randomly choosen default font and click ok Actual Results: Sawfish can't find the font and defaults to some ugly scriptish font Expected Results: Sawfish should use the newly selected font for window titles Additional Information: Solution: enter the font manually, either in the "Default Font" text entry in sawfish-ui or by adding a line to ~/.sawfish/custom Example of line added to ~/.sawfish/custom: (custom-set-typed-variable (quote default-font) (quote "-b&h-luxi sans-bold-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1") (quote font))
For "sawfish-1.2-2" in Phoebe, this is the line I had to add to "custom": (custom-set-typed-variable (quote default-font) (quote ("xlfd" . "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal-*-*-120-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1")) (quote font)) Note the "xlfd" and the "dot" before the actual font name.
