But as I said, I do not know, if it is actually used as default configuration by any package maintainer. So yes, your answer works for all default configurations I know about and I was just nitpicking. I am shutting up now. +1 from me.Wed, 24 Jun 2015 10:21:30 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6139/how-to-use-the-default-font-used-by-i3-status-bar-in-the-terminal-emulator/?comment=6194#comment-6194https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6139/how-to-use-the-default-font-used-by-i3-status-bar-in-the-terminal-emulator/?comment=6180#comment-6180Yes, but again, this doesn't matter here. We are talking about the default configuration, not the user configuration.Tue, 23 Jun 2015 08:03:40 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6139/how-to-use-the-default-font-used-by-i3-status-bar-in-the-terminal-emulator/?comment=6180#comment-6180https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6139/how-to-use-the-default-font-used-by-i3-status-bar-in-the-terminal-emulator/?comment=6167#comment-6167I am not sure if there are any packages/distributions configured that way, but i3 does also look in `/etc/xdg/i3/config` (or rather `$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/i3/config`) for its configuration. Even before it looks for `~/.i3/config` or `/etc/i3/config`. So it may also get its configuration from there.Sun, 21 Jun 2015 22:10:04 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6139/how-to-use-the-default-font-used-by-i3-status-bar-in-the-terminal-emulator/?comment=6167#comment-6167https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6139/how-to-use-the-default-font-used-by-i3-status-bar-in-the-terminal-emulator/?comment=6144#comment-6144OP obviously didn't configure their own font, otherwise they'd know which one it is. This question was about which i3 uses per default, imho.Fri, 19 Jun 2015 13:13:37 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6139/how-to-use-the-default-font-used-by-i3-status-bar-in-the-terminal-emulator/?comment=6144#comment-6144https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6139/how-to-use-the-default-font-used-by-i3-status-bar-in-the-terminal-emulator/?comment=6143#comment-6143While this should work in most cases without user configuration, it is not fool proof. i3 looks for a configuration in 4 locations, two of them depend on a environment variable. You can use `i3 -C -V` to see which file i3 actually uses.Fri, 19 Jun 2015 06:14:38 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6139/how-to-use-the-default-font-used-by-i3-status-bar-in-the-terminal-emulator/?comment=6143#comment-6143
