[Solved] Dwm displaying weird characters in status bar and web forms

Hello,

I'm using Arch Linux with dwm desktop. I was trying to do make some changes in my ~/.xinitrc, and now my dwm status bar displays weird characters. I reverted all the changes i made in /etc/X11/xconfig.d and ~/.xinitrc, but the problem persists. The characters get also displayed on some web forms too (which makes it very difficult for me to post even this). Do you have any idea what may cause this?

Here's a screenshot:

Apperantly i was missing my monospace fonts, and wingdings happened to be the only remaining monospace. Installed a monospace package from pacman. Posted links helped, thanks!
