Font not found about polybar HOT 16 CLOSED

The icon font used in the example config is siji

from polybar.

@Rostgnom I recently fucked up with my fonts and had the same problem
fc-list | grep siji
and replaced it with the proper name
font-2 = Wuncon Siji:pixelsize=12;0
hope it helps you

Oh damn, I had /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf enabled...
Now it works. Thanks!

Hi and thanks for reporting!

What version of lemonbar are you using?

from polybar.

v1.1 from AUR

from polybar.

You would need a version patched with xft support.

I recommend the lemonbar-sm-git package found in the aur. That's the version I use myself.

from polybar.

I will update the documentation to make this more clear.

from polybar.

Yay it works, thanks!

BTW it works with lemonbar-xft too

What are the fonts i need to have in order for the symbols/fonts e.g. , WiFi, Ethernet, battery etc to show alongside their respected stats. Note: I already have the bar install and is seeing the stats, just not the symbols/fonts.

from polybar.

I installed siji-git from AUR, but the icons are still not displayed at all. What am I doing wrong?

from polybar.

I have the same problem. Installed siji from AUR
but fc-list does not list it.
Is it because siji is not TTF/OTF?

pacman -Ql siji-git
siji-git /usr/
siji-git /usr/share/
siji-git /usr/share/fonts/
siji-git /usr/share/fonts/misc/
siji-git /usr/share/fonts/misc/siji.pcf

from polybar.

It works fine for me. Maybe you need to rebuild the cache fc-cache -f

$ fc-list | grep -i Siji

/usr/share/fonts/misc/siji.pcf: Siji:style=Regular

@BlackBeemo
Thanks, that works :)

Now changing font size (to pixelsize=25 in the screenshot) doesn't increase the icon size, but only increases some top padding. Any solutions to that?

from polybar.

@Rostgnom I don't think that font is scalable.

from polybar.

@jaagr Oh, okay. Unfortunate font choice for the example configuration then, isn't it?

from polybar.

It's the font I've been using for my setups. Can't know what fits best for everyone else.

Might be good to replace it with FontAwesome instead.
