UCIMF.CONF(5)

💖 UCIMF.CONF 💖

okay bestie, so this is the ucimf.conf manual page — that's section 5 of the File Formats Manual, aka the config-file zone. no commands to run here, just vibes and key-value pairs. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ucimf.conf — the ucimf configuration files, plural, because she contains multitudes 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the tea: ucimf.conf can do double duty. it can live at /etc/ucimf.conf as your system wide configuration, OR it can chill at $HOME/.ucimf.conf as a per-user configuration. same file name, different homes, different amounts of main character energy. 👑

ucimf uses UCIMF_FONTPATH to set the unicode font it's gonna use. for example:

UCIMF_FONTPATH = /usr/share/ucimf/unifont.pcf

and the font size? that's a whole separate situation, bestie — it gets set by FONT_WIDTH and FONT_HEIGHT:

FONT_WIDTH = 24
FONT_HEIGHT = 24

then there's the input method framework modules search path for UCIMF, which is set by IMF_MODULE_DIR:

IMF_MODULE_DIR=/usr/lib/ucimf/

so like, three settings, all lowercase-key equals value, all iconic in their own way. not me being obsessed with a config file 😭💅
