Specifying system fonts in config.h?

[Therem Harth]

On Linux I want to use the Terminus font on my ToME1 mod project. I'm using the XAW interface by default because X11 segfaults mysteriously on Debian Squeeze... No matter what I put in DEFAULT_X11_FONT in config.h, though, I get something like

Couldn't find font 'foo'
Trying fixed

And the fixed font is unfortunately tiny and unreadable. Anyone know how to properly specify a system font as DEFAULT_X11_FONT?

[Therem Harth]

Figured it out... Use xfontsel (because XAW can't do Truetype fonts). So terminus 12 is

#define DEFAULT_X11_FONT		"-*-terminus-*-*-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*"

Groovy.

Err, wait a minute that doesn't actually work. It doesn't give the error any more, but still uses the Fixed font. Any help?

Stab in the dark (I'm on Windoze these days), but create an executable script like so (obviously, not running hengband, though, and using whatever font you prefer)

export ANGBAND_X11_FONT='-*-courier-bold-r-normal--24-*-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1'
./hengband -g -- -n1&

Thanks, but that doesn't work either; nor "TOME_X11_FONT."

Yeah, ANGBAND_X11_FONT only works for X11 mode, not XAW.
