The Tris count is correct for the default cube: 6 quads -> 12 tris.
Not sure how useful could it be to have a selected tris counter, but that would be a feature request then.

tri is not triangle?

ok I found the information
1 tri = 3 verts
2 tris = 4 verts
3 tris = 5 verts
but in this case having 0/12 will indicate you have no triangles...
I will do this in an addon

It is, but that counter tells you how many faces the triangulated version of your mesh has, not the ones you modelled yourself.
To identify them you could use the "Select Faces by Sides" operator.

yes but my question at the origin was to have an information about triangles there no tris. even if I didn't know what tris are. it should specify modeled triangles as an information for the user. and ngons ^^ what is the utility to see 4 faces 8 tris? well 8=4*2 I know that now...
I mean "useful" info for the user.
I'm doing(modifying an existing one in fact) an addon to see what engine too, and often I don't see clearly the actual mode where it is. it should be bigger or more centered. so extra info over 3D view at the bottom should help. all this should be chosen as options in prefs.
tris should be a secondary info maybe as a python info holding the mouse over it
and thks for the tip select faces by sides
