Tamzen font

Name: tamzen-font
Brand: tamzen-font
SKU: //sunaku/tamzen-font
Rating: 3.192 (596 reviews)

This is my personal fork of the wonderful Tamsyn font by Scott Fial. It is programatically forked from Tamsyn version 1.11 by the

Rakefile

script (see the "Building" section below) which backports glyphs from older versions while deleting deliberately empty glyphs (which are marked as unimplemented) to allow secondary/fallback fonts to provide real glyphs at those codepoints.

The "TamzenForPowerline" fonts provide additional Powerline symbols, which are programatically injected with ZyX_I's bitmap-font-patcher. I later hand-tweaked those symbols to perfection in the gbdfed(1) editor:

For all icons, I expanded them to occupy the maximum available space.
For the fork icon ( U+E0A0), I made the branch larger than the trunk.
For the newline icon ( U+E0A1), I made the "N" at the bottom larger.
For the padlock icon ( U+E0A2), I replaced the keyhole with // lines.

Installation

Using a package manager:

Manually, in Linux:

Download a release or clone this Git repository into
```
~/.fonts/tamzen-font
```
and then run:
xset +fp ~/.fonts/tamzen-font/bdf xset fp rehash
You should now be able to see the "Tamzen" font family in
```
xfontsel
```
.

Manually, in Windows:

Copy the files from the
```

folder into your Windows Fonts folder.

Manually, in macOS:

Drag & drop the files from the
```

Linux VT integration

Switch to a Linux VT (virtual terminal) by pressing Control-Alt-F1.
Run
```
showconsolefont
```
to see how the character map currently looks.

Run

setfont ~/.fonts/tamzen-font/psf/TamzenForPowerline10x20.psf

See how the character map now displays glyphs from the Tamzen font.
Try running
```
setfont
```
with other Tamzen fonts in the
```
psf/
```
folder.

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts#Console_fonts for details.

XTerm integration

The following Xresources let you dynamically switch between the various Tamzen fonts by holding down Control and right-clicking in the XTerm terminal.

XTerm*font : -*-tamzen-medium-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-* XTerm*font1 : -*-tamzen-medium-*-*-*-9-*-*-*-*-*-*-* XTerm*font2 : -*-tamzen-medium-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-* XTerm*font3 : -*-tamzen-medium-*-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-* XTerm*font4 : -*-tamzen-medium-*-*-*-15-*-*-*-*-*-*-* XTerm*font5 : -*-tamzen-medium-*-*-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-*-* XTerm*font6 : -*-tamzen-medium-*-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Feed the above snippet into the xrdb(1) program and then start a new XTerm to see its effect. Afterwards, you can add this snippet to your ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources files to have these settings be automatically applied by XTerm.

URxvt integration

The following aliases let you dynamically switch between the various Tamzen fonts when run inside a shell that is attached to the URxvt terminal.
