Font not found

[bl4ckb0ne]

Hi, I have a problem with fonts with the example config file (and others that I tried).

$lemonbuddy_wrapper example -c ~/.config/lemonbuddy/config
Could not load font "sans:size=8"
lemonbar: invalid option -- 'o'
Could not load font "FontAwesome:size=10:weight=heavy"
lemonbar: invalid option -- 'o'

But I know I have font awesome installed

$fc-list | grep awesome
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/fontawesome-webfont.ttf: FontAwesome:style=Regular

Is there any more doc aboute the declaration onf the fonts in the config file? Or did I do something wrong?

Thanks.

Hi and thanks for reporting!

What version of lemonbar are you using?

[bl4ckb0ne]

v1.1 from AUR

[jaagr]

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.

[jaagr]

I will update the documentation to make this more clear.

[bl4ckb0ne]

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.

The icon font used in the example config is siji

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

@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

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
siji-git /usr/share/licenses/
siji-git /usr/share/licenses/siji/
siji-git /usr/share/licenses/siji/LICENSE
siji-git /usr/share/siji/
siji-git /usr/share/siji/view.sh

[jaagr]

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

[janhieber]

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

@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?

[jaagr]

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

[JosXa]

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

[jaagr]

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.
