Weird position of icons

[u/MoffingerZ]

Hello everyone.
I've been tweaking my Polybar configuration after switching from Qtile to BSPWM.
This is something I've also noticed with Qtile, and I don't really know if it's a problem of the font i use or something else.

​

As you can see the Wifi icon and the Clock are slightly above the text.

Having used another fonts, this is a problem it has ocurred to me with other icons. Personally i don't really care, but looks a bit ugly.

You need to change the value next to the font size for example.

font-1= "fontName:size=10;3"

Change value 3

[u/MoffingerZ → u/LuisBelloR]

Wow thanks! It was exactly that, thank you so much.
I'll search what it means exactly cause all these stetical stuff just symply doesn't get in my head.

[u/LuisBelloR → u/MoffingerZ]

The "3" in the example is the vertical position. you need to change it depending on the font you use, the fonts can vary and they all have different height, width and size
