We are creating a series of YouTube videos under the “edu-“ label to guide users through the migration from ArcoLinux to Arch Linux. These tutorials aim to make the transition process smoother by explaining each step clearly and providing practical examples. Whether you’re switching to gain more control or to learn vanilla Arch, our edu- videos are here to support your journey.

ArcoLinux has stopped

Teaching never stops—because learning is a lifelong journey for all of us.

22 Changing the font of the theme

In this tutorial we are going to change the fonts. Normally we use noto fonts. But we can change the fonts as well.

We will use the terminus fonts. Here are some terminal commands in regards with fonts

fc-list | grep Terminus

We change it to xos4 terminus.

We change the font of the calendar and weather as well.

We continue to work with xos4 terminus everywhere.

We change the font in the  termite config. And then we have to realign the icon. We need to move it more to the top. But we need to edit the neofetch config to do that.

yoffset and xoffset will take care of that.

The font in ncmpcpp can be changed as well. I did not tell you that in the video. Ncmpcpp is launched via urxvt meaning you need to set the font in your .Xresources.

URxvt*font: xft:Monospace:regular:size=13

We change this file and copy/paste the terminus font over.

~/.gtkrc-2.0

You need also to change this file

~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
