rofi setup difficulty (SOLVED)

Post by gychang »

I am used to using rofi as an application launcher rather than findnrun. I installed rofi from PPM and when I try to run it (see attached), I get an error regarding the font. I see no rofi.conf or rofi-conf file...
How do I resolve it?

I don't use rofi; nor have any desire to nor figure out how to entirely resolve your difficulty. [And I haven't finished my 1st cup of coffee, so am currently only vaguely curious. :) ].
But this post may suggest why there is a problem, where to look for the config file and (I think) may suggest the solution. https://github.com/davatorium/rofi/comm ... aec222d9f8

Got it figured out, if I run rofi -show drun -width 65 -lines 20 -columns 2 -font "Monospace 14" on the terminal, it shows up fine. Can be edited in jwmrc-personal or sxhkdrc in case of BSPWM tiling manager for further convenience.
