---------------------------------------- Terminals, Part 1 November 05th, 2017 ---------------------------------------- I've been using konsole for my terminal for a while, mainly because I was a KDE user and it came with it. I really like that it supports the ligatures that are in my font of choice, Firacode. I also like that it supports all the colors I want, and I customized that scheme really well. Beyond that, I don't like that it's part of a window manager i don't use anymore. I don't like the amount of resources it pulls in. I don't like that I can't change the settings anymore because I hid the menu and can't remember how to un-hide it (it should be a dotfile!). So, I've been trying to go to xterm instead. Woo. As of tonight I got my xresources file working well enough that my fonts are at the right size and my color scheme is solid. I have been having a hell of a time getting unicode characters to display properly, though. After lots of reading, I think I know the problem: I can't figure out how to format my firacode fontName line to include the character encoding. I changed it to -misc-fixed-... and it's coming out right. I thought I could use xfontsel to figure it out, but I guess that only works with bitmap fonts, or maybe I don't know what I'm doing. xlsfonts gives me a nice list, but only for system fonts (I think) not those in a ~/.fonts folder. Next steps: get firacode working with unicode in xterm or uxterm. Then, double check that tmux copypasta still works like it should. Finally, get copy & paste working over SSH/mosh. Any advice from the peanut gallery?
