+# This font is widely installed, provides lots of unicode glyphs, right-to-left

+#font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono 8

+# Before i3 v4.8, we used to recommend this one as the default:
+# font -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-C-70-iso10646-1
# The font above is very space-efficient, that is, it looks good, sharp and
-# clear in small sizes. However, if you need a lot of unicode glyphs or
-# right-to-left text rendering, you should instead use pango for rendering and
-# chose a FreeType font, such as:
-# font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono 10
+# clear in small sizes. However, its unicode glyph coverage is limited, the old
+# X core fonts rendering does not support right-to-left and this being a bitmap
+# font, it doesn’t scale on retina/hidpi displays.
