i3 uses X core fonts (not Xft) for rendering window titles. You can use
|
||||
+xfontsel(1)+ to generate such a font description. To see special characters
|
||||
(Unicode), you need to use a font which supports the ISO-10646 encoding.
|
||||
i3 has support for both X core fonts and FreeType fonts (through Pango) to
|
||||
render window titles.

|
||||
To generate an X core font description, you can use +xfontsel(1)+. To see
|

special characters (Unicode), you need to use a font which supports the
|
||||
ISO-10646 encoding.
|
||||
|
||||
A FreeType font description is composed by a font family, a style, a weight,
|
||||
a variant, a stretch and a size.
|
||||
FreeType fonts support right-to-left rendering and contain often more
|
||||
Unicode glyphs than X core fonts.
|
||||
|
||||
If i3 cannot open the configured font, it will output an error in the logfile
|
||||
and fall back to a working font.
