Re: [xmonad] Workspace selector font size

Hmm, maybe something out of XMonad.Prompt?

No, this is for explicitly launching programs. But you are asking about displaying workspace numbers or names. For my own bars (Xmobar), they have their own external font configurations. You should first get familiar on how to access fonts on your OS anyway. Then, which you got installed at all. And then take one of them and try to access it, and later to change it with your bar's (external) config. Currently your desktop seems to display a 'dummy font', or if the font is correct, the wrong size or rendering. However, I can give you an example of an "inline" font definition in my xmonad.hs. It is for the prompt: myPromptFont = "xft:Ubuntu Nerd Font:style=Book:size=12:antialias=false" Regards Am 25.08.22 um 12:54 schrieb Jacek Generowicz:

My workspase switching key opens a grey bar what bar, XMobar? I don't know.

I do explicitly launch an xmobar (also a dzen2) in my config, but this isn't either of these. This is whatever appears when I press keys bound to

XMonad.Actions.DynamicWorkspaces (selectWorkspace, withWorkspace, renameWorkspace, removeWorkspace)

and I haven't managed to discover what that is.

Then it (or any other bar) might have it's own (external) config. Yes, I have a config file for my xmobar, and I configure the dzen2 with argumens when I launch it, and ...

Further you can look for a "PP"/pretty printer section in your xmonad.hs, as well as for any font definitiions. ... I also have a `myDzenPP`

But this is something else.

Also the issue depends on the font you use(d). Do you still have it installed, and is it addressed correctly? Further you could figure out if the font config uses point or pixels for the size, and Xft for rendering. I'm hopelessy clueless about where fonts come from on my system or how they are configured, found, etc.

(Also, I'm on NixOS, so it's bound to be done somewhat differently from the usual way of doing things.)
