This font causes all programs I use it with to fail

So I really love the look of this font, and have been able to enjoy using it briefly. Unfortunately whenever I try to use this font for a program it seems to have an issue. The issue is all the character turn into blocks instead of your font. When I use it for rxvt it makes it so I can't open it with i3. When I use it with rofi all the characters are blocks, but it still works. And in the i3 config i3bar appears all as blocks.

Thanks again, I would really appreciate it if I could start using your font again.

I’ve had this happen before, it might be related to your configuration. If you could push your dotfiles to your config repo and let me know how you installed the font (i.e following the directions here or through the AUR) I’ll be able to help.

I've noticed some programs are very picky about the specified size of a font. For instance, I had block characters in i3 like you until I changed my font config from font pango: scientifica 10 to font pango: scientifica 9.

I had that exact issue before! That’s why I asked to see their configs.
