Support non-pango fonts

[YarekTyshchenko]

Seems to be related to this?:

https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust/blob/325f6de4a20799625b7ae6c95a2c7e2241d06c3d/src/widget.rs#L94

[[block]]
block = "custom_dbus"
path = "/foo"
format = "$text.pango-str()"

Sending dbus command:

busctl --user call rs.i3status /foo rs.i3status.custom SetState s warning
busctl --user call rs.i3status /foo rs.i3status.custom SetText ss "1004" ""

Sending non-empty short-text doesn't seem to change anything

I'm using the semi-native theme, installed by copying the file and refering to it with full path. For some reason cargo didn't put themes into the expected location for me.

Which bar are you using?

I just tested i3bar from i3 4.22-3 and it works fine.

That's a limitation of cargo. See install.sh.

Don't forget to enable pango in your config if you explicitly set font: https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust#integrate-it-into-i3sway

My i3 settings are:

bar {
    status_command i3status-rs ~/.config/i3status-rs/config.toml
}

The issue seems to go away if I specify a pango font (font pango:monospace 12), but those fonts make the text blury, which is why I don't use them. Seems like a proper can of worms last time I looked into that issue. Any way around this?

I can't get the <span/> to show up, but if you still see this problem you could test replacing the <span/> with \u{200b} (a zero width space)
