I want to set the utf-8 "icons" as the taglist headers, but this "icon" turns out to be huge (upper left). I tried changing theme font and font size, but it did not bring any result. Current font: "Ubuntu 10".
Tell me please, what should I try next?
I vaguely remember hearing about this problem before on the #awesome
IRC channel. The reason there was that the person had configured FontConfig not to scale fixed size fonts. I do not remember the details, but the first Google result lead me to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/font_configuration#Disable_scaling_of_bitmap_fonts.
