"Super" key doesn't show up as in website screenshots [Ubuntu 16.04]

Closed this issue · 8 comments

After upgrading to regolith 1.4 (awesome changes) I can't see the little windows icon as in the website

Am I missing something?
This is how my i3config file looks:

PS: I can't copy the windows super key character

Thanks

Interesting, the "windows" icon comes from the fontawesome font. I expect that you have that installed because it's an explicit dependency, but perhaps you have another font that is superseding fontawesome. Can you verify? Here's what I have:

$ apt list --installed | grep awesome

fonts-font-awesome/eoan,eoan,now 5.0.10+really4.7.0~dfsg-1 all [installed,automatic]
apt list --installed | grep awesome

EDIT: The font even looks to be properly installed system-wise

I need to look into how to specify that the fontawesome font is used by remontoire. In the meantime, here is a list of installed fonts on my machine. Perhaps there is an obvious one that you have that's overriding fontawesome.
fonts.txt

These are my fonts, looks a bit "outdated", I'm using Ubuntu Bionic 18.04:
fonts.txt

I believe I may have a fix for this. Can you run remontoire with the attached stylesheet, like:

remontoire -t <path to style.css> -s $(printenv I3SOCK)

The stylesheet is available here: https://github.com/regolith-linux/remontoire/blob/master/data/style.css

@kgilmer Thanks a lot! I confirm this solve the issue in my case
