On the other hand, lemonbar supports "fallback fonts" which lets you specify multiple fonts, so that if the first one doesn't include a glyph, it then uses the second one to display it. You can use this hack to get icons in your bar, by using, eg, siji as a fallback font.
URxvt uses the same mechanism.

note that you can define an icon font inline if you want, I checked what I was doing: https://github.com/neeasade/dotfiles/blo...zen.sh#L58

edit: or would this not work because siji is only available in bdf/pcf?
