Unicode-font-setup void-variable error

[jonathanwilner]

Hi there -

Been trying to figure this one out for a few days. It doesn't happen with the vanilla / first install of minemacs, but as soon as I seem to add a few modules, it appears. I get the full error when starting up with debugging enabled, but without it enabled, loading stops when the error hits - forcing me to then try to load the rest of the config by reloading init.el.

I'm totally stumped on how to get past this one & how to figure out what change / config is generating the problem, other than obviously the call to setup unicode-fonts.

My guess is that this is Mac related & has to do with trying to load a font weight. There's a similar seeming bug that was fixed for Spacemacs, but the workaround about weights/color doesn't seem to help, at least as I'm trying to apply it.

I'd love any help or direction to where to look in the configuration or how to give better debug feedback.

Thanks!

Hello @jonathanwilner ,

Thanks for the feedback,

It seems to be related to the unicode-fonts package.

Try to add this to your ~/.minemacs.d/config.el to disable loading the package:

(remove-hook 'minemacs-after-startup-hook #'+unicode-fonts-initialize)

[jonathanwilner]

Hi there- will do, I was trying to keep unicode-fonts in there, as I like having unicode / symbols around.

[abougouffa]

It seems that the issue is present on the upstream repo https://github.com/rolandwalker/unicode-fonts/issues/36. There is a potential fix (as described in https://github.com/rolandwalker/unicode-fonts/issues/36#issuecomment-1336049905); try this:

rm -r ~/.emacs.d/local/pcache/

[jonathanwilner]

Yes! That did it. Thank you for finding that upstream. I should have looked there first! :-(

[abougouffa]

Can I consider this issue as resolved?

[jonathanwilner]

Yes, thanks !
