Can I use icons even with vanilla lemonbar?

Yes, just use a bitmap font that provides bitmap icons. Most people seem to use Siji these days.

How do I copy Siji icons for pasting into the config?

In the siji repository, do:

./view.sh

Select a character and note the character code at the top. For example, 0x00e010 for a dice with one eye. Remember the last four digits of that number, then do this:

echo -e "\ue010"

Copy the character that was printed to your terminal, even if it doesn't show properly (shows up as Tofu / block). Paste this into the config.

What is the correct font name to get Siji to work?

font = "-wuncon-siji-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-c-80-iso10646-1"
