[Panel/BSPWM] Desktop switches but doesn't update on the panel

I have not changed anything within my sxhkdrc file. If I am reading it correctly, super + (1-9) should switch the desktops. The shortcut does work, but the panel does not change.

Currently, I have four desktops set: code, web, chat, read. I can switch desktops with super + (1-4) but the panel will not change from the 'code' desktop.

Here is my bspwmrc: http://textuploader.com/kf8y

bspc config top_padding $PANEL_HEIGHT

killall bspwmstatus dzen2 bspc xtitle

[ -e "$PANEL_FIFO" ] && rm "$PANEL_FIFO"
mkfifo "$PANEL_FIFO"

bspc control --subscribe > "$PANEL_FIFO" &
xtitle -sf 'T%s' > "$PANEL_FIFO" &  # Optional: for window title
bspwmstatus | dzen2 -fn "$PANEL_FONT" -h $PANEL_HEIGHT -ta l &

panel dzen2

If you need any more information, please just tell me how to get it and I'll amend the post.

Thank you!

#### EDIT

I switched the font to 'Deja Vu Sans Mono:size=9' and everything works fine.

Disregard. After a restart, the panel still does not update.

Re: [Panel/BSPWM] Desktop switches but doesn't update on the panel

Try adding the -p switch to your dzen2 panel.

bspwmstatus | dzen2 -fn "$PANEL_FONT" -h $PANEL_HEIGHT -ta l -p &
