Waybar: Icons not recognized

Created on 3 Dec 2018  路  5Comments  路  Source: Alexays/Waybar

I just installed arch linux. Together with sway and waybar. I can het the configuration working and enjoying it so far. The only problem is that I cannot render any icons. Do you need to set a special font for it? Can I make it use the icon theme in some way?

While I am at it, is there also a way to look up what is possible? I can't find anything about icons in the wiki, so I was wondering if I am looking in the wrong place.
