My workspase switching key opens a grey bar at the bottom of the screen. Since switching to 0.17, the fonts on this have become enormous and the virtual screen names (of which I have many) don't fit in the bar any more.
Can you give me any pointers on where this font (or the appearance of this bar in general) might be configured?
Sounds like you're using XMonad.Prompt to open a workspace switcher of some sort (for example, the aptly named XMonad.Prompt.Workspace). AFAICR, we switched the default font for prompts from bitmap-based fonts to xft-based fonts, since some distributions do not ship the bitmap ones with X11 anymore. When you define your prompt you may have something along the lines of workspacePrompt def (windows . W.shift) as a keybinding. You have to simply override the `font` field of your XPConfig to use bitmap fonts again: workspacePrompt def{ font = "-misc-fixed-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" } (windows . W.shift) You may also have a `myXPConfig` or something, in which you can add the `font = …` override as well. Tony -- Tony Zorman | https://tony-zorman.com/
