"Space" character size?
tomauty opened this issue · 11 comments
Not sure what exactly the issue is, but when using this in my topbar, each space character seems very wide.
(generally the text is very close to the icons)
I'm just using -*-creep-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* but I've tried multiple combinations in xfontsel.
Any help would be appreciated. Looks great otherwise :)
Edit - comparison to "lemon" font:
Which panel using?
If you do not paint the text will be the same? Use the default bar configuration, replace only the font.
echo 'some text with spaces' | lemonbar -p -f bla-bla-creep
Sorry, not sure if I follow. Here's my config

That screenshot was taken with creep uncommented for FONT1, which is passed in as the first argument of -f.
Hmm I've no idea where this is coming from. The letter-spacing seems to be set correctly so that's not it.
I think this is more due to the panel than the font. Same issue: LemonBoy/bar#117
Yeah looks like it, I'll follow that issue instead. Thanks guys.
Or I guess I won't follow it since it's closed, but I won't clutter this channel with unrelated issues.
@tomauty Well you're welcome to post the answer here if you ever find one, it might help other poeple facing the same issue.
Yeah I definitely will
creep doesn't define a space character, which might be part of the issue.
