Changing Typeface

[Anonymous]

I'm having problems changing the typeface (font) within bginfo4x (version 3.3.6).

What I want is to select a mono-spaced (fixed-width) typeface like Lucida Console because it makes aligning text vertically easier. I have Lucida Console installed (both Microsoft Word and LibreOffice Writer recognize it). In the file "custom\conf\immode.conf", I changed:

FONT_HEADERFILE="Lucida Console"
FONT_OUTFILE="Lucida Console"
FONT_ALARMFILE="Lucida Console"

I do NOT get an error message, but I still get a variable-width typeface on the screen.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

To print a complete list of fonts try on the command line:

convert -list

to check the font name and to check if the font is installed.

Regards.

Thanks for the reply! It worked well.

For those who need more detailed information:

When you installed BGINFO4X in Windows, there should have been a shortcut placed on your desktop named "BGINFO4X - Unix Bash Shell".

1. Double-click this and a Linux console will appear.
2. At the $ prompt, type "convert -list font". You will see a long listing of data in the format:

Font: Tunga-Bold
family: Tunga
style: Normal
stretch: Normal
weight: 700
glyphs: c:\windows\fonts\tungab.ttf

The name of the font is listed next to the identifier "Font" (in our example, it is "Tunga-Bold").

Thanks again!
