Thanks to airblader for pointing me into the right direction :)

Here is the solution I came up with by utilizing pango markup:

i3statuswrapper.sh:

  1 #!/bin/bash
  2 
  3 function f_ram()
  4 {
  5         echo $(free | grep Mem | awk '{printf("%.0fMiB/%.0fMiB", $3/1024, $2/1024)}')
  6 }
  7 
  8 function f_uptime()
  9 {
 10         echo $(uptime -p)
 11 }
 12 
 13 echo '{ "version": 1 }'
 14 echo '['
 15 echo '[]'
 16 
 17 i3status | while :
 18 do
 19         read line
 20         ram_s=$(f_ram)
 21         uptime_s=$(f_uptime)
 22         full="UP: $uptime_s | RAM: $ram_s | $line"
 23 
 24         echo ",[{\"name\": \"all\",\"full_text\":\"<span font='DejaVu Sans Mono'>"$full"</span>\",\"align\": \"right\",\"urgent\": false,\"separator\": false,\"markup\": \"pango\"}]"
 25 done

i3status/config:

...
# ordinary config
14 order += "cpu_usage"
15 order += "disk /media"
16 order += "disk /home"
17 order += "disk /"
18 order += "volume master"
19 order += "tztime local"
...

i3/config:

144 bar {                                                                                                                                                      
145         status_command /home/USER/.config/i3status/i3statuswrapper.sh
146         
147 
148         font pango:RealChinese 10
...
159 }
