[BUG] Probably missing some setting or dependency

[Tickle]

Describe the bug I cannot get Alacritty to actually use the font or rice that is set in the config file. I can also not get the mod+w rofi bind to work

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Used Archinstall to get a fresh awesomewm install, switched to zsh. installed dependencies including nerd-fonts-complete. copied dotfiles.

Information (please complete the following information):

• Arch
• awesome v4.3-1360-gc539e0e43 (Too long) • Compiled against Lua 5.4.4 (running with 0.9.2)

The mod+w bind is actually a awesome menu that I removed because it lacks too many features. I forgot to remove that binding

The font issue is weird, it looks like you are using the right one tho. I downloaded the font files from here https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k, maybe you got the wrong files?

i also had the same issue with the alacrity, i switched to kitty and the problem was gone.

@Shorakie Did you install the MesloLGS NF Font?

[Tickle]

Figured out the font issue at least, on my system they were called MesloLGS Nerd Font and not MesloLGS NF. I've yet to find the config file for the lock screen so I cannot fix the same issue there.

Other than that I only have one issue and it's that I cannot get your alacritty rice to work by that I mean the bar above the terminal input whether it is some super strange PS1 or not I have no clue.

No but i changed the Alacrity config to use another font in my case Fira Code. however today i tested alacrity again and it was rendering with correct letter width.

if i have guessed correctly the owner is using oh-my-zsh with the power10k theme

[Tickle]

True enough, thanks :)

One last question, if you are not using mod+w to launch programs without using a terminal then what are you using?

[Crylia]

@Tickle mod+d launches rofi, other than that there is always the dock.

[Tickle]

Ah yeah that is what I assumed, I am running into an issue with that bind "The following errors were detected when starting rofi: failed to resolve variable 'border' in: 'window { border-color: var(border);}'" covers the entire screen in white with that error in the top left

@Tickle I think it would be best to open a new issue for that, but please make sure you are using rofi git and not the old version they package
