Go Mono from there rather than installing it from the #OpenBSD repo. Adding this to my .Xresources and voila I have the Go Mono font and symbols.xterm*faceName: Go Mono Nerd Font Mono#RunBSD

Ok so a fresh head has helped me resolve my Nerd font issue in #Xterm . I just needed to download the font
So still on my #OpenBSD adventure and although I missed images in the terminal be it
sixel in xterm or the kitty protocol in kitty, I've decided to stick with good old #Xterm . Also on my #FreeBSD daily driver I'm used to such luxuries as icons in the terminal like font awesome or nerd fonts but even though I could have used alacritty or kitty to achieve this I have decided to for go them. After all what do they do other make it look pretty ? I don't get any other functionality from them and they can easily be replaced with text. You might have noticed too that although I'm a #Wayland chic on my #ThinkPad I've decided to be all nostalgic and stick with Xorg on OpenBSD. I haven't yet settled on a window manager be it tiling or stacking but #HerbstluftWM and #Openbox are in my sights although I'm still using the default #Fvwm right now. I have my Qutebrowser setup and aerc for my email. Printing via cups and xsane for scanning. Looking into nsxiv for an image viewer as the OpenBSD port of imv is well out of date. Yes I'm having to make small changes but once I'm finished this wee Dell Optiplex 3080 tower will be perfect for daily driving OpenBSD and I'm looking forward to learning lots more. #RunBSD
Xterm doesnt display text - please answear #xterm
With upstream introducing security regressions and lacking public version control, maybe it’s time OpenBSD forks #xterm and maintains a more secure, auditable version. I’d definitely choose that over the current upstream.
One item I *haven't* configured yet in `xterm` is URL handling. In the brief time I used the `foot` terminal on Wayland I liked how they manage URLs by assigning a keycode that underlines all the URLs and assigns a key sequence to each to use to open the URL in the browser:
https://codeberg.org/dnkl/foot#urls
I wonder if something like this could be configured in tmux? If so, that would make this feature independent of whatever terminal is in use.
Day 07 of #31DaysOfFreeBSD :freebsd:
Had some real fun exploring `xterm(1)` and getting my terminal configured nicely in `~/.Xresources` with the Nord color palette and Fira Code font! This is a config that I can carry with me for use in any X environment on BSD or Linux:

As I'm configuring `xterm` today, I learned that the program predates X!

Still setting up my #FreeBSD #Xorg Desktop PC and I've got #Xterm just how I like it for now with my favourite theme gruvbox. Strangely enough I'm still running the default #Twm as I haven't yet installed a tiling wm like #Herbstluftwm . This feels like the late 80's earlier 90's and I'm having fun learning new stuff even though I used to use Xorg for years before #Wayland . I mean I never ever thought I'd like Xterm but it's way more lightweight and powerfull than I ever gave it credit for.
Gave up on #OpenBSD for now as it's too locked down for my liking and I was really wanting to setup #Xorg on the freebie Dell Optiplex 3080 Tower and use #Xterm as my terminal with #Sixel support. So I've installed #FreeBSD and got Xterm running with Sixel support ( graphics in the terminal ). Who's a happy chic that's feeling all nostalgic right now ? That's right moi ! #RunBSD
What could #sixel support specifically entail that could be impacted by pledge()? #xterm is still only drawing pixels into pixmaps, sixel mode or otherwise.
Unwillingness to turn on a new (since 2013) not-very-well-tested-until-recently feature, almost certainly. NetBSD delayed turning it on until 2020. (Debian went straight for turning it on in 2013, by contrast.) But I don't see how pledge() would have had any hand in the decision.
I use alacrity but after starting use twm, #xterm works like a charm, it's my main terminal now.

my #xterm bores me. About time to fiddle with xterm*cursorOnTime and xterm*cursorOffTime

Aprender a valorar lo simple de la vida jaja!!
Xterm, esa terminal que seguro tienes por ahí pero que nunca valoras...
Apparently #Alpine booted fine with #ZFS and Wiki pages are helpful. It also still comes with ifconfig for network configuration which I love. However, well there seems always to be a HOWEVER follows, after I installed #Xorg and #xterm, testing X seemed like worked but my keyboard was not working under X. It worked in tty but as soon as I stated X with startx, keyboard became unresponsive while touchpad was working. I cannot even switched to tty because keyboard was not working at all. Doing a pill X in ssh session stopped X and keyboard still worked under tty. Have to try fix this. 2/2
@HydrePrever : Il en faut deux : #xterm pour les trucs sérieux et #tilda pour le fun
