Same here. I'm on Kubuntu. I ran the Bash prompt script with no errors after manually installing fastfetch. Screenshot_20240906_050504

interesting that we have different level of garbling. the arrows at the prompt look ok, mine don't.

I have the font installed. Ninth last line in my first screengrab. Do we need any other fonts?

Grab the fonts https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v3.2.1/Meslo.zip

copy the extracted files to your fonts (/usr/share/fonts). You need to be root.

You need to refresh your font cache : fc-cache -f -v

Then You also need to select this font in your terminal preferences : image

Close all terminal windows and start a new one, you should be ok
