Hey yall,

i'm trying to whip up a little lemonbar for a new openbsd install and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to get siji icons to display. it simply displays, for example, \ue016 instead of the associated clock icon. this works fine under void linux, and i am sure it's something dumb, but I haven't been able to figure it out and i don't honestly know enough about the components to know where the problem actually is. i AM using echo -e.

is it possible to use a secondary icon font with openbsd's lemonbar package? i wouldn't have assumed Xft support was required since i'm not using xft font strings, but honestly, i have no idea.

tia!!

EDIT: resolution is to use a shell with a builtin echo that supports -e. printf may also be an option but i haven't bothered to explore it
