Question regarding net block up/down icon size

[ammgws]

Are the up/down icons meant to be so small?

Info:

• 4.17.14-arch1-1-ARCH
• sway version 0.15.2
• i3status-rust-git 0.9.0.r514.g2ec4cbb-1 (from AUR)

> cat ~/.config/i3status-rust/config.toml | grep icons
icons = "awesome"

> cat ~/.config/sway/config | grep -A 10 bar
# ┃ Status bar
# ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
# Read `man 5 sway-bar` for more information about this section.
bar {
    font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono, FontAwesome 10
    position top
    status_command i3status-rs $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/i3status-rust/config.toml
    colors {
        statusline #ffffff
        background #323232
        inactive_workspace #32323200 #32323200 #5c5c5c
    }
}

No, I don't think they are supposed to be that small.

[atheriel]

... the amount of time we spend trying to debug font issues in this repo is concerning.

I can reproduce this on sway, but I don't have an i3 setup right now. Can someone confirm on i3?

[ammgws]

Still the same in i3.

> cat ~/.config/i3/config | grep -A 10 i3bar                                                                                                                             
# Start i3bar to display a workspace bar (plus the system information i3status finds out, if available)
bar {
  font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono, FontAwesome 10
  position top
  status_command i3status-rs $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/i3status-rust/config.toml
  colors {
    statusline #ffffff

}

[ammgws]

Can anyone share a screenshot of how it should look?

[atheriel]

This is what mine looks like. Font is pango:Iosevka, FontAwesome 9. I'm running the 1.0-alpha of sway but it was the same before. Master branch of this project, but again it's been unchanged for ages. I'll dig into the font a bit more.

This is how mine looks with Iosevka. This is pretty ridiculous haha

aur/ttf-iosevka 2.0.0-1
aur/ttf-font-awesome-4 4.7.0-5

[ammgws]

OK so have managed to fix the arrows by getting rid of DejaVu from the config.
(I also had aur/nerd-fonts-complete 2.0.0-5 installed which I uninstalled at some point in between just in case.)
Edit: Most likely due to nerd-fonts-complete as it looks like it installs FontAwesome 5 and its own DejaVu font.

Before
font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono, FontAwesome 12

After
font pango:FontAwesome 12

Good detective work!
