Using HiDPI screen and polybar-theme-12 / can font be increased? #72

Closed hobbsy closed 3 years ago

hobbsy commented 3 years ago

Hi there,

I'm using a ThinkPad X1C6 (running Manjaro KDE) and I believe the screen res is 2560x1440 (HiDPI?)

On a few other of adi's polybar-themes-* I have been able to successfully use the setting in config: dpi = 192

to make the fonts in the top bar a readable size

But this doesn't seem to work in polybar theme 12 Is this because it is using a bitmap font waffle (?) Is there a way to increase the font size? Maybe instead of waffle-10.bdf I could try and find a waffle-20.bdf (??)

Or is there a simple fix I can put in the config?

Thanks

I am experiencing a similar issue, the waffle icons are not scalable.

@hobbsy Check out bitsnipicas, you can use it to convert bdf into ttf using this in the command line: java -jar BitsNPicas.jar convertbitmap -f ttf -o myfont.ttf myfont.bdf
