Icons don't appear about bumblebee-status HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi,

the default icons use the "Awesome" fonts: http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/

I think the font you choose for the i3bar needs to provide those (I'm using "pango:Inconsolata 11"). Maybe it's enough if you install the awesome font package on your distribution (on Fedora, for example, it's called fontawesome-fonts).

Regarding the testjson.sh: That was a bug :-( There are some invalid JSON files in the themes/ directory for unit testing purposes. I've updated testjson.sh to exclude those.

Edit:
Just checked, if I use a non-pango font, at least, fonts don't show correctly for me either. Also, if I remove the fontawesome-fonts package, the fonts are gone.

So please try those two things and let me know whether the situation improves for you.

Thanks for your quick response :)

Ok I retried the testjson.sh, told me that Json is valid, I am using the same font as you pango:Inconsolata 11

Maybe I should have mentioned it before but in fact, I don't have the icons but I do have for instance

audio 21% if in my config file I have :
bar {
font pango:Inconsolata 11
position top
tray_output none
status_command bumblebee-status -m pasink
}

for which I should have an icon instead of audio ?

So nothing changes so far :/

Ah, that's probably even easier to solve :-)

The default theme is an ASCII theme, for maximum compatibility. Try the following:

status_command bumblebee-status -m pasink -t solarized-powerline

for the solarized theme, or -t gruvbox-powerline for the gruvbox theme.

Ok it works now, I also had to stop using python 3.6 and install the requested modules in python2.7 .Thanks a lot for the help and for your time ! :)

This project is awesome it looks really nice :)

Glad to hear it works & you like the project, thanks a lot! Also, thanks for your patience in getting this resolved.

Yeah, right now, the project is only tested against Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5. I'll have a quick look to see what's going wrong with 3.6, though.

Also, if you have any feature requests, etc. feel free to just open a ticket, I'm always happy about feedback!
