Sguil 0.7-CVS client on Ubuntu Feisty

Posted on Jun 19, 2007

I just got a new workstation that I’m setting up today with Ubuntu Feisty 7.04. When setting up the Sguil client from CVS I needed to install the following packages (including dependencies, but apt-get takes care of that):

tcl8.4 tclx8.4 tcllib tk8.4 iwidgets4

After this it ran but looked horrible because of some ugly font that was used. I found that for my use the following fonts look good:

standard: Bitstream Vera Sans 12 fixed: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 12

Both fonts are installed by default and can be selected in the Sguil client by opening the ‘File’ dropdown menu and choosing ‘Change Font’.
