I made a program which shows four terminals in one window, but the font size is way too big. Here is my code:
#!/usr/bin/python shells.py
from gi.repository import Gtk, Vte, Gdk
from gi.repository import GLib
import os
class MainWindow(Gtk.Window):
def __init__(self):
Gtk.Window.__init__(self, title="shells")
self.resize(1000, 1000)
table = Gtk.Table(2, 2, True)
self.add(table)
palette = [Gdk.color_parse('red')] * 16
terminal1 = Vte.Terminal()
terminal2 = Vte.Terminal()
terminal3 = Vte.Terminal()
terminal4 = Vte.Terminal()
scrolledwindow1 = Gtk.ScrolledWindow()
scrolledwindow1.add(terminal1)
scrolledwindow2 = Gtk.ScrolledWindow()
scrolledwindow2.add(terminal2)
scrolledwindow3 = Gtk.ScrolledWindow()
scrolledwindow3.add(terminal3)
scrolledwindow4 = Gtk.ScrolledWindow()
scrolledwindow4.add(terminal4)
terminal1.fork_command_full(Vte.PtyFlags.DEFAULT, os.environ['HOME'], ["/bin /sh"],
[], GLib.SpawnFlags.DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD, None, None)
terminal2.fork_command_full(Vte.PtyFlags.DEFAULT, os.environ['HOME'], ["/bin/sh"],
[], GLib.SpawnFlags.DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD, None, None)
terminal3.fork_command_full(Vte.PtyFlags.DEFAULT, os.environ['HOME'], ["/bin/sh"],
[], GLib.SpawnFlags.DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD, None, None)
terminal4.fork_command_full(Vte.PtyFlags.DEFAULT, os.environ['HOME'], ["/bin/sh"],
[], GLib.SpawnFlags.DO_NOT_REAP_CHILD, None, None)
terminal1.set_colors(Gdk.color_parse('red'), Gdk.color_parse('black'), palette)
terminal2.set_colors(Gdk.color_parse('green'), Gdk.color_parse('black'), palette)
terminal3.set_colors(Gdk.color_parse('yellow'), Gdk.color_parse('black'), palette)
terminal4.set_colors(Gdk.color_parse('blue'), Gdk.color_parse('black'), palette)
table.attach(scrolledwindow1, 0, 1, 0, 1)
table.attach(scrolledwindow2, 1, 2, 0, 1)
table.attach(scrolledwindow3, 0, 1, 1, 2)
table.attach(scrolledwindow4, 1, 2, 1, 2)
win = MainWindow()
win.connect("delete-event", Gtk.main_quit)
win.show_all()
Gtk.main()
According to the documentation Vte set_font I used:
import pango
font = pango.FontDescription()
terminal1.set_font(font)
And I get the following error:
AttributeError: type object 'Context' has no attribute '__info__'
The example is from a stack overflow question: how to enable transparency in vte.Terminal
Then I used, according to this Vte 'decrease-font-size' signal :
terminal1.connect('decrease-font-size', function, data)
def function():
print "press crtl -to decrease font-size"
Nothing happens with this one. And the rest also don't work. I also noticed that I can't really change the size of one terminal using:
terminal1.set_size(30, 29)
Seems to change nothing.
For these examples I used for the sake of simplicity only terminal1. Also one weird thing is that, when I do the "clear" command, it seems to rearrange itself and the font size becomes bigger. I apologize for weird English. It's not my native language, but I'll try my best. When it comes to programming, I have only experience with python and associated libraries or modules. I'm using a Linux Debian version as OS.

Connect to the realize signal of the Vte.Terminal as only then the Pango.FontDescription() is created, then get_font() on the terminal and set_size() on the Pango.FontDescription() returned by that:
