# To get a config file with the same key positions, but foryour current

# Font for window titles. Will also be used by the bar unless a different font
# is used in the bar {} block below.
font pango:Fira Code 8
# This font is widely installed, provides lots of unicode glyphs, right-to-left
# text rendering and scalability on retina/hidpi displays (thanks to pango).
#font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono 8
# Before i3 v4.8, we used to recommend this one as the default:
# font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-C-70-iso10646-1
# The font above is very space-efficient, that is, it looksgood, sharp and
# clear in small sizes. However, its unicode glyph coverageis limited, the old
# X core fonts rendering does not support right-to-left andthis being a bitmap
# font, it doesn’t scale on retina/hidpi displays.
