Is a tiny, cross-platform terminal emulator (written in C).

Note

macOS and Wayland won't build as libmaus doesn't have implementations for<br>those. If you would be interested in making one for your own platform, it would<br>be amazing if you could contribute!

Building:

./configure<br>make<br>cp cterm /usr/local/bin # or where you want it

About

cterm is a tiny terminal emulator I built from frustrations of not being able<br>to use st across different platforms. Much like<br>st, it is very, very small--even smaller than st. For this reason,<br>however, cterm does not have the "standard" terminal emulator features such as<br>mouse selection, scrollback, fancy graphics, configuration files, the like;<br>this is because, I find all of them useless. If you want to achieve that, use a<br>terminal multiplexer or even VIM (it can function very well as a modal<br>multiplexer).

cterm also doesn't rely on any extra dependancies like<br>FreeType. Well it sort of does, but I chose to vendor<br>libmaus as that is a really simple windowing library I created so that it can<br>be cross platform.

Info

Only BDF fonts are supported as for now. If requested (or contributed), I have<br>no problem with adding other formats but no vector font support! If you want to<br>convert your vector font, you can use something like otf2bdf (thats what I<br>do!).

Reloading the font can be done with AltR + r

There is also a provided which uses<br>otf2ttf to scale any font in a libary if needed.
