"Problem load font file. none"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I packaged wbar-2.2.2 for pkgsrc on NetBSD-5.99.52/amd64.
It seems to work fine, but when it starts up, it writes to stdout:
Problem load font file. none

There are no mouseover texts over the icons, but I don't know if there should 
be any :)

To have text in wbar the first text config item must point to a valid font file 
without it's extension name and have a size: Example

If the font file is /usr/share/fonts/TTF/VeraMono.ttf and you want size 10, then

t: /usr/share/fonts/TTF/VeraMono/10

Thank you for explaining how to make wbar use a font.
I opened the bug report because it didn't work out of the box and it wasn't 
documented in the wbar or wbar-config man pages.

Since it is working fine after adding the line, I change my bug report to a 
documentation one:
Please document this necessary line in the man pages for wbar and/or 
wbar-config.
If possible, also extend wbar-config that it writes this line by default or 
choose a common font as default (DejaVu for example), since for me, it didn't.
Thanks.

Yes, there is definitely  a need to add some sanitization routines for wbar 
configuration file, but there are some tasks with higher priority.

The ticket is reopened now, and sanitization will be implemented, but could you 
please write a manual page on wbar configuration file meanwhile?

I've improved wbar-config(1) much and wbar(1) slightly. Hope this helps.
(based on the versions in 2.2.2)
