Secure Shell (dev) 0.8.24.2 released

[Robert Ginda]

I just released Secure Shell (dev) 0.8.24.2, which adds the 'user-css' preference.

This preference can be used to add a custom css file to the terminal window.  It's intended as a roundabout way of using web fonts, but you might also find another creative and borderline-unsupported use for it.

As an example, to use the Google web font "Source Code Pro", you'd set your user-css preference to 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Source+Code+Pro', and then set your 'font-family' pref to "Source Code Pro, monospace"

The monospace fallback is there because the new-connection dialog and preference pane don't respect the user-css pref, so they won't know about "Source Code Pro".

You can find other Google web fonts here: http://www.google.com/fonts/.  Keep in mind that you must use a monospace font (all characters must be the same width), or you'll end up with all sorts of alignment issues.  There doesn't seem to be a way to search the Google fonts for monospace, but I stumbled across Inconsolata, Source Code Pro, and Oxygen Mono while scrolling through the options.  Set your sample text to something like "xX.1#" to make them easier to spot.  There are probably more.

Hi Robert,

The user-css preference was working for me briefly, but now I can't seem to make it work anymore. Specifically, if I now follow your instructions to get "Source Code Pro" as my terminal font, the preference is ignored and I get the next-highest-priority pre-installed font instead.

This is on ChomeOS 34 using both Secure Shell 0.8.26 and 0.8.26.3.

Let me know if I can provide more information.

Thanks,

Chris

I looks like part of the user-css patch got lost in a merge :/  I'll add it back.

[Robert Ginda]

This should be working again in the just-released 0.8.26.4.  I'll aim to move 0.8.26.4 to stable next week.

Thanks for the quick fix!

I ran across this solution and works fine with inconsolata. Belated thanks!

Got a working solution without hack: https://github.com/wernight/powerline-web-fonts

Currently only added support for Source Code Pro for Powerline, but any other powerline font would work.

Does anyone came across of another use of this feature? I will love to, for example, highlight certain words or regular expressions matches.
