Terminal font

[Brottweiler]

Description

When displaying GTK2/3 fonts, also display font used in terminal.

Maybe this is harder to look for, since it's specified in the config of the terminal application.

Neofetch version

1.7

Here's my reddit comment for clarity:

Terminal font will be more difficult to add due to there being no standard for getting the info.

Neofetch will have to first figure out which terminal emulator it's running inside of to avoid issues when users have more than one type of terminal emulator open at once.

Once we figure out the terminal emulator we need to figure out where it's config file is or if there's a command to get the information.

I have an idea on how to do all this and I will give it a try, there's no guarantee though.

[Brottweiler]

As soon as I made the issue I realised how it would get the font, since it's in the config file and that's different depending on emulator.

I've started work on this feature, please test out the function below and let me
know if it works.

This function prints the current terminal emulator that neofetch is running from.

Issues

• Doesn't work when used inside tmux.

getterminalemulator () {
    parent="$(ps -p ${1:-$PPID} -o ppid=)"
    name="$(ps -p $parent -o comm=)"

    case "$name" in
        "${SHELL/*\/}" | *"sh") getterminalemulator "$parent" ;;
        *) terminalemulator="$name" ;;
    esac
}
getterminalemulator

printf "%s\n" "$terminalemulator"

It detects the terminal emulator properly for me, yes.

[dylanaraps]

Awesome, Thanks.

I've just updated the function above and it should now work
when running nested shells.

Example:

1. Open bash
2. Open zsh
3. Open bash
4. Open bash
5. etc

The function will still correctly find the terminal emulator.

I've opened #252, which aims to close this issue and implement terminal font.

[dylanaraps]

#252 will be merged once I do some more testing.

Note:

• Support for terminal emulators with profile based configs won't be
  included with this PR.
• Support for tmux won't be included with this PR.

I'm going to open a new issue to track these features.
