Current Behavior

I'm trying to define font styles/variants for the various text options (time, date, verify etc.) and haven't managed to get this working. I may be missing something (new user so some things still foreign to me), but I've tried various things.

Testing with Roboto for instance, this is the list of fonts and styles. As you can see, the font name is always the same, just the style and path vary.

/usr/share/fonts/TTF/Roboto-Medium.ttf: Roboto:style=Medium
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/Roboto-MediumItalic.ttf: Roboto:style=Medium Italic
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/RobotoCondensed-Bold.ttf: Roboto Condensed:style=Bold
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/Roboto-ThinItalic.ttf: Roboto:style=Thin Italic
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/Roboto-Regular.ttf: Roboto:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/Roboto-BoldItalic.ttf: Roboto:style=Bold Italic
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/RobotoCondensed-BoldItalic.ttf: Roboto Condensed:style=Bold Italic
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/RobotoCondensed-Regular.ttf: Roboto Condensed:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/RobotoCondensed-LightItalic.ttf: Roboto Condensed:style=Light Italic
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/Roboto-Light.ttf: Roboto:style=Light
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/RobotoCondensed-Italic.ttf: Roboto Condensed:style=Italic
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/Roboto-BlackItalic.ttf: Roboto:style=Black Italic
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/Roboto-Italic.ttf: Roboto:style=Italic
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/Roboto-Bold.ttf: Roboto:style=Bold
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/Roboto-LightItalic.ttf: Roboto:style=Light Italic
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/RobotoCondensed-Light.ttf: Roboto Condensed:style=Light
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/Roboto-Black.ttf: Roboto:style=Black
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/Roboto-Thin.ttf: Roboto:style=Thin

I've tried variations like --time-font="Roboto Thin" and --time-font=Roboto-Thin and nothing seems to work as expected.

Expected Behavior

Expected to be able to define font variants/styles.

Environment

Output of i3lock --version:

i3lock version: 2.13.c.3

Where'd you get i3lock-color from?

Try escaping the space with a backslash (\)? It works with --time-font=Nunito\ sans for me 🙂

Got this working with "Roboto:style=Thin" for others wondering too.

Nice! I'll add that into the manpage.
