Squibby eb96c71725 Try to match a fallback font if needed
Fixes #276

Instead of rendering the entire filename at once, Xft will let us do it
character by character. This will allow sxiv to query fontconfig for
a font that can provide any missing codepoints, if needed.

A known issue of this patch is that the "..." dots rendering will not
work properly for very long multibyte filenames. That is because we
cannot easily predict the final width of the rendered filename before
drawing it. I couldn't figure out a clean way to deal with this, so I
ended up just truncating the offending filenames.

sxiv

Simple X Image Viewer

The primary goal of sxiv is to create an image viewer, which only has the most basic features required for fast image viewing (the ones I want). It has vi key bindings and works nicely with tiling window managers. Its code base should be kept small and clean to make it easy for you to dig into it and customize it for your needs.

Features

  • Basic image operations, e.g. zooming, panning, rotating
  • Customizable key and mouse button mappings (in config.h)
  • Thumbnail mode: grid of selectable previews of all images
  • Ability to cache thumbnails for fast re-loading
  • Basic support for multi-frame images
  • Load all frames from GIF files and play GIF animations
  • Display image information in status bar

Thumbnail mode:

Installation

sxiv is built using the commands:

$ make
# make install

Please note, that the latter one requires root privileges. By default, sxiv is installed using the prefix "/usr/local", so the full path of the executable will be "/usr/local/bin/sxiv".

You can install sxiv into a directory of your choice by changing the second command to:

# make PREFIX="/your/dir" install

The build-time specific settings of sxiv can be found in the file config.h. Please check and change them, so that they fit your needs. If the file config.h does not already exist, then you have to create it with the following command:

$ make config.h

Usage

Please see the man page for information on how to use sxiv.
