[nitrogenxx]

on st (suckless terminal) neofetch is showing terminal font section but fastfetch is not showing terminal font sections butttt...🍑👋 on alacritty terminal fastfetch is showing terminal font section but neofetch is not showing terminal font section there (vice versa)

btw on xfce4-terminal both neofetch fastfetch both are showing terminal font section

I'm looking fastfetch solution for st terminal

why some terminal show some section but some don't

General description of bug:

• What happened baby: font name is not correct on fastfetch (or terminal font entry not showing)
• What should happen: fastfetch should show correct like neofetch like ST terminal
• Fastfetch version used: latest fastfetch 2.11.3-debug (x86_64)
• Did it work in an older version: IDK im new to fastfetch
• Where did you get the binary: installed via pacman on archlinux
• Does this issue still occurs in the latest dev build? IDK

nope

If fastfetch is slow

nope

• The terminal you used: st (suckless terminal) and xfce4-terminal and alacritty and kitty

If fastfetch behaves incorrectly on shell starting

nope, using default bash

If it's detected with -c ci.jsonc --format json, it should also be detected with the default config.

1. What does fastfetch --show-errors print?
2. What does fastfetch --list-config-paths print?
3. What is the command line you use to start st?

[CarterLi]

Font section prints the global system font setting, not terminal font.

[nitrogenxx]

1. What does fastfetch --show-errors print?

Terminal Font: st was not executed with -f parameter why fastfetch is asking for terminal font explicitly like st -f "Iosevka Nerd Font:pixelsize=19" when terminal font is already configured in st terminal config and working perfectly through out the terminal expect fastfetch it should detect terminal font automatically

2. What does fastfetch --list-config-paths print?

/home/user/.config/fastfetch/
/home/user/fastfetch/
/etc/xdg/fastfetch/
/etc/fastfetch/

3. What is the command line you use to start st?

command: "st" (without quote)

for you to try out debugging ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. install st terminal git clone https://git.suckless.org/st cd st

sudo make
sudo make install
sudo make clean

2. start st terminal use the command "st"

3. to modify terminal font go to st/confg.h ~st/config.def.h~ first line is the font config

sudo make
sudo make install
sudo make clean

I'm really glad to seek help from you 🍁

I checked the implementation in neofetch

https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/blob/master/neofetch#L3563-L3568

It should not work since neofetch was searching for lower cased font while you specified Font. I wonder how you get the correct result.

Anyway, I have implemented the similar logic which searches for size=. Please test the latest dev build
