When I first ran sunclock from a terminal window, it ran and brought up the sunclock screen in the GUI. However there were several lines on
able to eliminate those messages but I was not happy with the size of the time display on my 1920X1080 screen as the font was very small. In looking for a way to change this, I found in the man pages that there was an option called "setfont" that in theory would allow you to change the fonts. The syntax as explained is shown below.
-setfont |{|} Select the font for the given text field (clockstrip, menustrip, city, coord, menu). Optionally, one can specify a list of languages for which this font setting should apply. If the option is not specified, the font setting applies to all languages.
That seemed straight forward so I started with something simple. A look inside sunclock.c indicated that the default font for the clock
I first tried the following as an option appended to the command line.
-setfont clockstrip 6x13
This resulted in the following error message
Incorrect -setfont specification
6x13: unknown option !!
I next tried it as an option in the rcfile.
setfont clockstrip 6x13
This resulted in the following error message.
Incorrect -setfont specification Error in config file : sunclock: option `6x13' (with no argument) incorrect Recheck syntax of config file /home/pi/sunclock.config !!
Since then I have added more fonts to Raspbian so I have tried all
idea what "argument" it wants. I tried adding "en" after the font name even though it is optional, but it did not help.
I have spent hours scanning the web and trying different things but at this point I am not sure spending more time would result in a solution as I find that using different search terms only brings up the same web pages I have read previously . I am not giving up just yet and will keep looking but perhaps someone could save me some time. Setfont is obviously unhappy about something but I have no idea what it wants from me to make it happy.
