Separator icons not aligning properly

[justinbarclay]

Hello,

I'm having an issue where the separator icons don't align to the mode-line properly. This happens regardless of the separator icons I use. If you have have any suggestions how I can resolve that issue it would be greatly appreciated. It's most prominent on the right most icons, but you can see it on all of the left ones as well.

This is on Emacs 26.0.50 on macOS Sierra (10.12.5).

Hi @justinbarclay, I'm (unfortunately) very aware of this bug! It's an issue with the icon font I created and I've tried to fix it a bunch of times but whenever I do, it causes my laptop to crash 😅

I'm not sure why, but I can't seem to make changes to my custom font without it breaking... I'll pick it up again when I have a free evening and fingers crossed I can fix it this time! :v:

@domtronn Not meaning to pester, just a polite notice that I'm also seeing this and reported it in a separate issue: #59 (duplicate which is now closed, but the info may be helpful 🙂 )

Hi @cmacrae, I know what the fix for this is... I basically borked the creation of the wavy separators when I was making my font, so I just need to update the glyphs and rebuild the new font.

... Which I've tried a few times 😅 I use IcoMoon to build the fonts, and it seems to work, but when I update with new/better separators, Emacs segment faults when trying to parse the new hex codes for the characters. I've tried a few other font building apps, but ran into different issues

Basically, whenever I try to make the new font, it breaks and I don't know why! It's annoyingly quite a time consuming process as well, so I've struggled to revisit it.

When I find a spare weekend I'll be able to properly commit to fixing this 👍

@domtronn Sounds annoyingly fiddly! Cheers for the update. Hopefully it's not too much of a headache 😅
