Siji font not showing up

cn flag

I'm currently setting up a relatively fresh ubuntu+i3 system (started out with Lubuntu 18.04,but upgraded to 21.04 for polybar and replaced basically everything, including WM, File Explorer, Terminal emulator, etc). I am trying to install Siji for the default polybar. I tried installing it multiple times, following the instructions on the github page. When installing, the setup in the command line gives me the following instruction, which I can't quite understand:

Successfully installed siji.pcf -> /root/.local/share/fonts
  Add the following snippet in your custom startup script that gets executed during xlogin:

    xset +fp /root/.local/share/fonts
    xset fp rehash

  If it already exists then you can skip this step.

I do not know what the "custom startup script that gets executed during xlogin" is. Where can I find this script?

I am currently at the status where I can execute view.sh in the font folder (/usr/share/fonts/siji), but executing polybar does not find the Siji font (for some weird reason, it says Loaded font "siji:pixelsize=10" (name=DejaVu Sans, offset=1, file=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf)).

Also, when I do fc-list, I can't find Siji anywhere. How can I get my system to actually see the Siji font, which should be installed in the right location?

I tried installing again, it did install to the right path for some weird reason, so into ```~/.local/share/fonts/```. Still not working.

I think you need to remove /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
