For some reason my Byobu (tmux) status bar is showing TAB instead of the ubuntu logo. This:

this

where it should be this:

should be this

I've tried installing some different fonts, but have not corrected the issue yet. Any ideas?

Further information:

sudo apt-get install ttf-ubuntu-font-family
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
ttf-ubuntu-font-family is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Update:

fc-list on my computer shows all the fonts with the prefix /usr/share/fonts/ e.g.,

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ubuntu-font-family/UbuntuMono-R.ttf: Ubuntu Mono:style=Regular

But the same command on a working system shows fonts listed thus:

Ubuntu Mono:style=Bold Italic

Perhaps it's a font location problem?
