otf-statusbar

This is an icon font designed specifically for plain text statusbars.

Usually, icon fonts only have an icon for a specific thing, like a battery. Users then see a featureless battery icon next to a textual representation of the battery's state.

otf-statusbar features different variants of icons, e.g. for good and bad wifi signals, or for empty and charged batteries.

Usage

otf-statusbar utilises ligatures to get the desired rendering. All icon variants have their own glyph in a Unicode Private Use Area. To make them easy to use and not require input of 'weird' unicode symbols ligatures are utilised. Select the font to render the whole ligature phrase. See Glyph overview
