I talked with lemonboy about the text encoding. UCS4 brings no advantage for his implementation (the x server is not able to use it), it would add a new dependency...

Lemonbar (and this fork) is only able to handle utf-8 characters that are represented by

@Popkultur have you looked at the ucs4 branch? Specifically https://github.com/krypt-n/bar/commit/91b444acf57b8d33425fdeac0704647483546778. It replaces the utf8 decoding with a function call to a fontconfig utility method and changes the type of characters...

`.ttf` fonts should work. Could you share the lemonbar command you are using and the output of `fc-match `?

Sorry, I didn't formulate that clearly. The output of `fc-match "Sauce Code Pro Nerd Font Complete Mono"` is what I was interested in (without the `-f`). But the clock and...

My guess is that this is caused by how lemonbar draws strings (character by character). The font rendering library can't apply any kerning that way. Could you look at #12...

Output for every movement seems like quite a lot of output to me. I'd suggest implementing mouseenter/mouseleave outputs for areas (could be defined via additional A numbers) and outputting them...

You're right, didn't think about that. Maybe compare the begin, end and command of the currently hovered area?
