Polybar menu and power options - unicode symbols missing about debian-titus HOT 8 OPEN

This is a repeat of #14, but #14 is marked as resolved - should it be marked resolved, if the issue still exists? Can the suggest fix be rolled into this project?
I'm happy to follow the instructions in #14 to fix the issue at my end, but it's strange only a small number of people are being affected.

To add to this, even when the icons are working, in .config/rofi/powermenu/powermenu.sh there is this entry

# Confirmation
confirm_exit() {
	rofi -dmenu\
		-i\
		-no-fixed-num-lines\
		-p "Are You Sure? : "\
		-theme $dir/confirm.rasi
}

# Message
msg() {
	rofi -theme "$dir/message.rasi" -e "Available Options  -  yes / y / no / n"
}

which causes using power options to fail as there is no message.rasi file in the dir.

In issue 14 it does give a solution but this should be fixed in the code and not something the end user needs to troubleshoot if it's a known issue.

#14 (comment)

Here is how I fixed mine... It's just the first few lines that need tweaking.

dir="$HOME/.config/rofi/"

theme="$dir/powermenu/drop_square"
confirm="$dir/applets/styles/confirm.rasi"
rofi_command="rofi -theme $dir/$theme"

# Options
shutdown=""
reboot=""
lock=""
suspend=""
logout=""

# Confirmation
confirm_exit() {
	rofi -dmenu\
		-i\
		-no-fixed-num-lines\
		-p "Are You Sure? : "\
		-theme $confirm
}

# Message
msg() {
	rofi -theme "$confirm" -e "Available Options  -  yes / y / no / n"
}

Question @ChrisTitusTech what is the packages.txt for? Are those packages that should be installed on the system after? Is there a way to ensure this all gets install if they should?

I'm having trouble to see what's inside the " " () For me, it appears like a hollow box with a few numbers inside. I'm using firefox to see this webpage, on my script I also can't see what's happening inside the " " so my polybar doesn't show a lot of symbols... Is there a way to fix this?

@Tchutcha87, that is because of the fonts you use, those are "special" characters. The original repo is here with examples of what hey look like in the GUI: https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi

Basically this is how it plays out:

shutdown="" = 
reboot="" = 
lock="" = 
suspend="" = 
logout="" = 

I was able to get the icons loading by going to https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi and running their setup script. Then I went to ~/.config and moved rofi to rofi.back and then rofi.old to rofi and reloaded the window manager. After that, it looks like things load accordingly.
