same problem

+1, I have the exact same problem. Also I've tried to install siji in various directories, rebuilt the font cache, added xset commands to xinitrc, and sacrificed a chicken. Cannot get the font to show up, neither in fc-list, nor in xlsfonts. Halp! :)

Had the same error, but could fix it by installing xorg-fonts-misc (and do a reboot/restart of X) as mentioned here and here :)

@c4tz Thanks for your solution, how would I get xorg-fonts-misc on Ubuntu?

[c4tz]

I'm sorry but I'm running on Arch Linux. I don't know in which package the needed resources reside under Ubuntu :(

Same problem on Ubuntu 18.04... I tried installing all xfonts and still nothing :( my polybar is now totally broken and I don't want to go looking for other fonts/glyphs 😢

Installing xorg-fonts-misc gives a new error:

Warning: Cannot convert string "-wuncon-siji-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-c-80-iso10646-1" to type FontStruct

I may be a bit late to the party, but after getting that same error I re-ran ./install.sh and now ./view.sh works perfectly.

I had the same problem, and when I ran ./install I had the error:
./install.sh: line 143: mkfontdir: command not found xset: bad font path element (#0), possible causes are: Directory does not exist or has wrong permissions Directory missing fonts.dir Incorrect font server address or syntax
I installed the package xorg-mkfontscale then run ./install.sh
After you can run ./view.sh and it will work
