The waybar package needs font-awesome-ttf as a rundep to show symbols. Without it you get this:

@davidjharder nice to see another person using waybar!
@JoshStrobl the default style.css does say that you need awesome font installed for icons to work, so I can add this as a rundep. I personally never ran into this issue before because I use Nerd Fonts, which also work. That said, just want to confirm we're good with bundling font-awesome-ttf into the waybar package vs letting the user decide which font they want to use. I've actually already built and tested a waybar package with font-awesome-ttf as a rundep, and while it works nicely out of the box, if I try to remove font-awesome-ttf later it takes waybar with it. Not sure if there's another way to do this, but I could see this potentially irking some waybar users. Thoughts?
@h3o an occasional user :)
I think the expected behavior here is for waybar work out of the box by including font-awesome. If users want to use some other font they can modify their style.css.
eopkg removing waybar with font-awesome is just regular eopkg behavior
@davidjharder agree! I've just submitted an update to include font-awesome-ttf as a rundep. First time making changes to an existing package so hopefully this was submitted properly.
