Customization

You can edit config.ini

[Planner]
first_year = 2023
# Print time-table at beginning of planner:
time_table = True
# Yearly format is January to December,
# academic is September to September of following year
# year_format = yearly
year_format = academic

[Localisation]
# Language detected from system's locale
language = auto
# or set manually, eg:
# language = en_US.utf8

first_semester_label = First Semester
second_semester_label = Second Semester

[Preferences]
font = default
# font = Gentium
week_days_abbreviated = True
months_abbreviated = False

Troubleshooting

No text is showing, there are missing characters

Make sure the font has all the characters needed for your language. Some good multilingual font choices are Gentium and EB Garamond.

The layout of timetables is broken

This can happen if weekdays have long names in your language. Try again with week_days_abbreviated = True in config.ini.

Not all pdf files are generated

If you get this error message:

make: mutool: No such file or directory

you need to install mupdf and re-run.
