Cant render installed ttf font on Linux ubuntu 14.04 / i3bar #10102

Open khrlimam opened 8 years ago

khrlimam commented 8 years ago

I run linux elementary which is ubuntu 14.04 based. I don't have such issue before and also i don't really clear what i've done the font suddenly cant be rendered, maybe anyone experienced the same issue?

tagliala commented 8 years ago

Does www.fontawesome.io work?

Does other webfonts work?

Could you please provide more details?

khrlimam commented 8 years ago

Sorry, my bad @tagliala . Here is what i'm trying to do: I'm trying to use fontawesome on my linux machine as my i3 bar icon, so i download the .ttf font then install it on my machine. It worked nicely before(image 1), but now it doesnt work (image 2), i dont really certain what i've done wrong, i've tried font cache but nothing happened

Please test with other webfonts using the PUA (e.g: glyphicons, material design icons...)

Please also notice that the .ttf file is generated via Fontsquirrel Webfont Generator, which may bring optimizations for the web that are not good for other uses (note: I'm talking about possibilities, I'm just trying to help you identifying the source of the problem). Could you give a try to the .otf file?

The icons front font awsome is being rendered just fine, it is only the slack icon there is being displayed as a note.

It is odd because it have worked before, i think it wa in August.

I have this same issue. Many of the icons do not render correctly, while many of the others do. I'm on Arch, trying to get this to work on Polybar, but it's consistent thru the system, the same icons render incorrectly in my text editor.

I've noticed that having Wine installed causes an issue with Font Awesome. Possibly with Playonlinux as well. After I uninstall them it works 100% fine with no other changes.

Same problem with Ubuntu 17.04 redirected via issue #12195

agustaf9 commented 6 years ago

If you are using i3 (and wine caused the problem) you can fix it by including FontAwesome on your fonts line as shown here: https://askubuntu.com/a/904341/326686 The font name changed with Font Awesome 5, you can get the name with fc-list | grep -i awesome

If @agustaf9 's solution is ok, please provide feedback so I can close this
