Issues with fall back fonts and Yosemite #16

Closed smbambling closed 8 years ago

smbambling commented 9 years ago

I've followed the directions in the install section but OS X still doesn't seem to honor the fallback font config for freetype

echo "\uf20c"


Any suggestions on getting this working ?

smbambling commented 9 years ago

I loaded all the included Fonts into my local Library as well but still no luck with the translation.

I do see the fonts lists when using fc-list.

fc-list | grep -i awesome
/Users/smbambling/.fonts/fontawesome-regular.ttf: FontAwesome:style=Regular
/Users/smbambling/Library/Fonts/fontawesome-regular.ttf: FontAwesome:style=Regular

I have this issue too. Fonts show up in fc-list, but the fallback does not seem to work. I'm trying to get it working with Source Code Pro on Yosemite.

@schlessera please let me know if you make any headway on getting this to work with fallback fonts in place of patching.

I've been testing the new hack typeface which looks pretty nice.

I have the same issue. Fallbacks don't seem to work on OSX.

The only thing I did manage is to install the fonts open /path/to/font.ttf and choose it as the non-ascii font in iTerm2. But that isn't very perfect as it can have only 1 fallback font so I miss my powerline fonts...

schlessera commented 9 years ago

I gave up on the fallback method and just install the patched font for now. Would love to get this working properly, though.

Where can I download the patched font from?

simonweil commented 9 years ago

OK, found them in the other branch, this works :)
