net block doesn't correctly display up/down speeds

[devnoname120]

Relevant configuration:

[block]
block = "net"
device = "wlp3s0"

System info:

• Linux 4.16.13-2-ARCH
• i3 version 4.15
• i3status-rs 0.9 fc4348b298156b0597548320871c0f2598ae3043

Yikes. Any chance this is related to a font issue? Which are you using?

[devnoname120]

I'm using the recommended fonts:

bar {
      font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono, FontAwesome 12
      position top
      status_command path/to/i3status-rs path/to/config.toml
      colors {
            separator #666666
            background #222222
            statusline #dddddd
            focused_workspace #0088CC #0088CC #ffffff
            active_workspace #333333 #333333 #ffffff
            inactive_workspace #333333 #333333 #888888
            urgent_workspace #2f343a #900000 #ffffff
      }
}

I can confirm that the bug is still present on latest master 0d21944b76fef87b5ff628a3ea1aca09028281b4.

This seems fixed now:

There is still a problem: too much whitespace around the up and down arrows. This might be a duplicate of https://github.com/greshake/i3status-rust/issues/238, though.

I'll note at the outset that we have no ability to fix font-related issues in the code, so any advice I give you is just culled from other issues. I notice that you have two versions of FontAwesome installed, although I doubt that's the issue. DejaVu Sans also seems to be missing, but that's relevant only if you're actually trying to use it.

What happens when you use different fonts?
