I have to use Quartz X11 window when I want to plot data that is on a remote server (using NX). I'd like to use my iTerm terminal as the interface to this, as it is nicely customized with fonts, themes, etc - instead of the bare xterm window. How do I do this?
Open the downloaded font and press "Install Font". Set this font in iTerm2 (iTerm → Preferences → Profiles → Text → Font), in the dropdown select the desired Font. You will see it change on the fly. Restart iTerm2 for all changes to take effect.
How do I open iTerm2 on Mac? To open iTerm 2, you simply need to double-click its icon – the one that you downloaded. If you go through the process of setting up hotkeys for the app, you will also be able to open iTerm2 through a specified by you keyboard combination.
Assuming that you have set-up everything correctly with ssh and XQuartz. You need to set-up the DISPLAY
environmental variable:
export DISPLAY=:0
ssh -Y ...
# start your app
xterm has variable DISPLAY
automatically set by default.
