What happened (include command output)

Trying to start freshly installed emacs, it complains about Fira Code not being defined. Setting the font to Menlo using -fn works and I can set the Font back to Fira (which I actually want to use) or any other font via M-x customize-face or the menu option just fine. However, when starting emacs again, it complains the same again as if not reading .emacs or init.el. When I put gibberish in one of whose files, it produces an error, so they are read, but setting the font doesn't work.

❯ rm -rf ~/.emacs ~/.emacs.d # make sure I don't set the font anywhere

❯ emacs
Font ‘Fira Code Regular Nerd Font Complete Mono’ is not defined

❯ fc-list |grep "Fira Code Regular Nerd Font Complete Mono" # it's actually installed:
/Users/bene/Library/Fonts/Fira Code Regular Nerd Font Complete Mono.ttf: FiraCode Nerd Font Mono:style=Regular
/Users/bene/Library/Fonts/Fira Code Regular Nerd Font Complete Mono Windows Compatible.ttf: FiraCode NFM:style=Regular

❯ emacs -fn Menlo
# starts, setting font to Monaco via M-x customize-face and saving...

❯ cat .emacs

Please try running Emacs using emacs -Q. You might still have some custom configurations in other places, for example, ~/.config/emacs or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/emacs.

❯ emacs -Q
Font ‘Fira Code Regular Nerd Font Complete Mono’ is not defined

Also, I just tried railwaycat/emacsmacport. Without doing anything but uninstalling emacs-plus und installing emacs-mac, it worked. Uninstalling that and installing this one again, problem is back. So I think it must be some issue with emacs-plus, not emacs itself.

Also, just tried uninstalling homebrew/cask-fonts/font-fira-code-nerd-font. Starts flawlessly after uninstalling, fails again after reinstalling. Uninstalling this unfortunately is no option, as it's the best font in the known universe..

d12frosted commented 2 years ago

Can you please try running https://emacsformacos.com/ ? emacsmacport has lots of modifications to make it more macOS friendly, and I am curious if it's GNU Emacs issue or just Emacs+. Sorry to ask you for this, it's just that I never faced this issue (and I don't have Fira Code installed).

diktomat commented 2 years ago

Didn't know this one, and it's even in default Homebrew.. Anyway, it fails the same way as this one, so it appears to be an upstream issue after all.
