hi, since i couldn't mix bitmap and ttf fonts on i3status, i took the pita to convert siji to ttf :P

i used a mix of https://github.com/ali1234/bitmap2ttf, manual editing and fontforge to create it. if you're interested i can post the sources :)

Yeah, PCF is outdated as a format, and doesn't play well with modern WM on Wayland. Moving to a scaling font-set is way better.

@fauno could you post it again, the file is not available anymore and it would come in handy having this in .ttf file format.

Thanks man, it didn't cross my mind to check your fork. If it isn't much trouble, it would be nice to see what you did. I had trouble trying to properly convert other bdf fonts to True Type. It's easier to render a valid Windows .fon file but you can only get as result only alphabet, numbers and some diacriticals, not the full font with all the special characters.
