The font name used by fcitx5's conf file.

[Hongyi Zhao]

I want to set  the customized font via ~/.config/fcitx5/conf/classicui.conf and I've following fonts on my Ubuntu 20.04 box:

werner@X10DAi:~$ fc-list -b|grep -i 'family:' | grep '.*DejaVuSansMono Nerd Font Mono' | sort -u
    family: "DejaVuSansMono Nerd Font Mono"(s)
werner@X10DAi:~$ fc-list -b|grep -i 'fullname:' | grep '.*DejaVuSansMono' | sort -u
    fullname: "DejaVuSansMono YaHei Nerd Font Bold"(s)
    fullname: "DejaVuSansMono YaHei Nerd Font Oblique"(s)
    fullname: "DejaVuSansMono YaHei NF"(s)

I want to know which name, fullname or family name, I should use in fcitx5's conf file, i.e., classicui.conf in order to let fcitx5 pickup the corresponding font.

Just use the configuration UI to change font. git fcitx5-configtool
should be able to be compiled on ubuntu 20.04.

The latest git version fails to be compiled:

obviously you're missing dependencies.

You may use apt-file to find the file.
Also, pkgs.org is a good website that is very easy to use find
packages on different distributions:
e.g. https://pkgs.org/search/?q=KF5ItemViewsConfig.cmake shows you
that the package you're missing is libkf5itemviews-dev on ubuntu.

Thanks and regards. It does the trick.

$ apt-file search KF5ItemViewsConfig.cmake
libkf5itemviews-dev:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/KF5ItemViews/KF5ItemViewsConfig.cmake

Thanks again for pointing this out.

Really, it does the trick. So to say, even I've used the
-DENABLE_KCM=Off cmake configure option, this package is still based
on some specific KDE dependent files.

The following command can also install the needed dependencies:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep kde-config-fcitx5

So currently, the name of this package is rather confusing.

Let's go back to the original question. I still can't find the font
selection panel with this tool as shown in the attachment.

[Weng Xuetian]

It's in the config of classic ui.

Strange. See the discussion located at
<https://github.com/hosxy/Fcitx5-Material-Color/issues/20#issuecomment-743767028>,
where the font change was done through GUI.

I finally found the corresponding settings' menu on the GUI located on
the Addons panel. Please refer to the attached documents for others'
reference.
