Some Chinese fonts don't use monospace on alphanumeris
characters. but we can `bind' a monospace English font and a
non-monospace Chinese Font into single font by edit ~/.fonts.conf:
(Thanks to
EdwardLee for this tip!)
But it won't work on every application.
<match target="pattern" >
<test compare="eq" name="family" >
<string>monospace</string>
</test>
<edit mode="assign" binding="strong" name="family" >
<string>DejaVu Sans Mono</string>
<string>WenQuanYi Zen Hei</string>
</edit>
</match>
You may specify the tab's coding with zh_TW.Big5
or Big5 in profile. You may open
a new tab with zh_TW.Big5
locale ENVIRONMENT if you using zh_TW.Big5
here.
You may specify the text or background color with white or #FFFFFF
in profile.
If you want to custom the function key, the following is a
example:
The default key in LilyTerm:
Vim fans may like to use:
[key]
new_tab_key = Ctrl T
close_tab_key = Ctrl W
prev_tab_key = Ctrl Page_Up
next_tab_key = Ctrl Page_Down
first_tab_key = Ctrl Home
last_tab_key = Ctrl End
edit_label_key = Ctrl E
[key]
new_tab_key = Ctrl+Shift Insert
close_tab_key = Ctrl+Shift Delete
prev_tab_key = Ctrl+Shift Left
next_tab_key = Ctrl+Shift Right
first_tab_key = Ctrl+Shift Up
last_tab_key = Ctrl+Shift Down
edit_label_key = Ctrl+Shift Return
The Function Key value may be Shift Ctrl Alt(MOD1) MOD3 MOD4 MOD5 (MOD2 is NumLock key), and you can use + to specify multi keys, for instance with Shift+Ctrl. NOTE: There should be no SPACE before and after + in the multi Function Key value.
And, You may got the Work Key value in gtk-2.0/gdk/gdkkeysyms.h. For example, if you want to use [Page Up] key as a work key, you may see that the value of [Page Up] is [GDK_Page_Up] in the file, so that you can use [Page_Up] in profiles. (the prefix GDK_ was removed.) Please note that the key value is case sensitive.
You may use [Get function key value] in menu to get a function key to use in profile.
You may mark the text using [Left Click], and past it by pressing [Middle Click] or <Shift><Insert>.
You should mount the devpts device before you launch LilyTerm
in a chroot jail:
mount devpts /PathToChroot/dev/pts -t devpts
If you still encounter trouble when running LilyTerm with Compiz, like black screen, transparent or colorless text, please insure the following setting:
is in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"
