Bug#918925: i3: Status and title bar text do not appear with default config file

Bug#918925: i3: Status and title bar text do not appear with default config file
[+cc pkg-raspi-maintainers, in case someone has seen this issue or a similar issue before] I can reproduce the problem on a Raspberry Pi 3B. Interestingly enough, running i3 in xserver-xephyr on that machine makes it display correctly, so the issue is not (just) a missing dependency. My guess is that there is some issue related to the graphics driver. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to use the “vesa” driver; Xorg finds no screens when I try. I haven’t yet figured out whether other programs are affected, too, or just i3. I can say that awesome and geeqie seem to work.

Bug#918925: i3: Status and title bar text do not appear with default config file
Package: i3 Version: 4.16-1 Followup-For: Bug #918925 Actually, removing the 'pango:' string from the font option is just causing it to fall back to the fixed-width X core font. I tried using a handful of other fonts, such as: font pango:Bistream Vera Sans Mono 8 And it turns out that the title and status bar text are missing for *any* pango font option. I looked through ~/.xsession-errors and I did not see any font-related errors.

That’s weird. Something must be different in your system, though, as this is the first time anyone has ever reported this issue. Can you check gnome-specimen and see if fonts show up correctly there?
