[Solved] bar-ain't-recursive missing fonts.

Hi all,

I'm using the bar configuration from here. When I run it, all of the icons show as empty boxes. This is obviously a font error, but I've downloaded all the required fonts through the AUR and insured that it was done properly. Since I'm absolutely certain that the fonts are 100% on my system, what could the problem be? I haven't modified the scripts in anyway, so everything I'm using is up there on those repos. Oh, and yes, I do have

xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/local
xset fp rehash

in my .xinitrc.
What could the problem be? Thanks in advance!

Did you use yaourt to download the fonts? It's not perfect...

Hi all,

I'm using the bar configuration from here.

In recent versions of bar, the config.h file is deprecated in favour of a runtime configuration syntax.

If not for the configuration file, how do I make changes to bar? The wiki doesn't mention any other ways.

Wow, that seems obvious in retrospect. Still, that's fantastic. Thanks so much for your help!
