README
# Siji
Siji is an iconic bitmap font based on the Stlarch font with additional glyphs.
It inherits additional glyphs from Sm4tik xbm icon pack, Lokaltog Symbols font, xbm-icon font, Uushi font, FontAwesome, and Tewi font with personal additions.
Siji is built on top of Stlarch, so your existing stlarch unicode values will **just work**.
Siji is a **Work In Progress**, so more glyphs will be added over the time.
## What's the difference between Stlarch and Siji ?
- Siji comes with **215 new glyphs**, selectively ported from other fonts and xbm icons with personal additions.
- Increased letter spacing.
- Properly centered glyphs.
## Installation
### Arch Linux
[PKGBUILD](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/siji-git) by [brandon99](https://github.com/brandon099)
### CRUX
[CRUX port](http://dl.z3bra.org/crux/v3.2/siji-font/) by [z3bra](http://z3bra.org/)
### Others
Clone this repo and `cd` into the siji directory:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/stark/siji && cd siji
```
Then run the installer script with `./install.sh`.
By default Siji will be installed in your `$HOME/.fonts` directory, it will be created if the directory is non-existent.
If you wish to install Siji in another directory then run the `install.sh` script with the `-d` flag and specify the font directory as an argument.
**Example:**
```sh
./install.sh -d ~/.fonts
```
## How to get the glyph codes ?
Install `xfd`:
### Arch Linux
```
sudo pacman -S xorg-xfd
```
### Debian
```
sudo apt-get install x11-utils
```
### Fedora
```
sudo dnf install xorg-x11-apps
```
After installing `xfd` run the `view.sh` script:
```sh
./view.sh
```
## Using Siji with other programs:
As long as the program allows to set a fallback font, Siji will work.
Examples of using Siji with some programs:
### Dwm
```C
static const char font[] = "-wuncon-siji-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-c-80-iso10646-1" "," /* For Iconic Glyphs */
"-*-tamsyn-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-1"; /* For Normal Text */
```
### Dmenu
```sh
dmenu -fn '-*-tamsyn-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-1','-wuncon-siji-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-c-80-iso10646-1'
```
### Lemonbar
```sh
lemonbar -p -f '-*-tamsyn-medium-r-normal-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-1' -f '-wuncon-siji-medium-r-normal--10-100-75-75-c-80-iso10646-1'
```
