helm-fontawesome buffer encoding

[jwintz]

Hello,

For some reasons I can't explain, fontawesome for emacs works great on my mac laptop, but not on my mac desktop, I however have the exact same setup since it is under version control (brew packages and emacs version are identical, just as ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile).

Also, my emacs config contains:

(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)

(setq coding-system-for-read 'utf-8)
(setq coding-system-for-write 'utf-8)

Any ideas why I have this rendering issues ?

Thanks !

• What is not working ? Could you show screenshots on both environment ?
• Did you install fonts ?
• Do you use same version Emacs on both environment ? Color font is disabled on macOS since Emacs 25

I'm running Emacs 26.0.50.1 on Sierra, on both systems and fonts are installed. They show correctly in helm-fontawesome buffer, but not once inserted. However it doesn't affect all glyphs. As an example, git and dashboard render just fine, while tag and align-left don't.

The former should be rendered in the first line, and the latter as the first character of the modeline.

And here it show it shows when everything is in place:

Anyway, I'll try to figure it out myself, thanks for the support and the excellent packages !

Fixed. When appending to buffer from emacs-lisp, use:

(propertize "" 'face '(:family "FontAwesome"))

instead of just

""
