I cannot get the popular Google font "Inter" to work with URxvt. When I set the font, xrdb -merge .Xresources and open a new terminal, it has spaces between the letters l i k e t h i s. Suggestions on Google point to URxvt.letterSpace: -1, but this doesn't do anything. Also, I don't need to use this for my other working fonts.
I know Inter works because it's installed on my system and I am using it in my top panel.
I know other fonts are working in URxvt, specifically UbuntuMono Nerd Font Mono and Noto Sans Mono.
In my .Xresources it looks like this: URxvt.font: xft:Inter: size=13. I tried things like Inter-regular, Inter: style=regular, but nothing works.
Not sure what I am doing wrong. There is nothing special or fancy about the Inter font.
.Xresourcesso that we can run it on our system and cause your error. – Fco Javier Balón Nov 18 '22 at 08:35All I have my in my .Xresouces is URxvt.termName: rxvt-unicode-256color, URxvtimLocale: en_US.UTF-8 and then my font.
I ran fc-match "Inter" and received "Inter-Regular.ttf: "inter" "Regular". I tried all these and different combinations in my .Xresources, but the letter spacing remains.
