Can't get it to work on OSX #22

This is what I am doing: 

$ which fc-cache
/usr/local/bin/fc-cache

$ git clone https://github.com/gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts.git
$ cd awesome-terminal-fonts

$ ./install.sh

$ ls ~/.fonts
devicons-regular.sh
devicons-regular.ttf
fontawesome-regular.sh
fontawesome-regular.ttf
octicons-regular.sh
octicons-regular.ttf
pomicons-regular.sh
pomicons-regular.ttf

I have iTerm2 set up to use Meslo LG M Regular for Powerline, so I made ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/10-symbols.conf look accordingly:


<fontconfig>
  <alias>
    <family>Meslo LG M Regular for Powerline</family>
    <prefer>
      <family>Pomodoro</family>
      <family>FontAwesome</family>
      <family>Octicons</family>
      <family>Icomoon</family>
    </prefer>
  </alias>
</fontconfig>

Let's check if fc-list sees Meslo LG M Regular for Powerline:

$ fc-list | grep 'Meslo LG M Regular for Powerline'

/Users/jottr/Library/Fonts/Meslo LG M Regular for Powerline.otf: Meslo LG M for Powerline:style=RegularForPowerline

Let's check if fc-list sees pomicons-regular:

$ fc-list | grep Pomodoro
/Users/jottr/.fonts/pomicons-regular.ttf: Pomodoro:style=Regular

Let's check if anything from ~/.fonts/fontawesome-regular.sh is available in the shell:

$ echo '\uf00c'


Nope. Nothing. Running ./build.sh first does not help either.

Also, a cursory check seems to indicate that some symbols, i.e. fa-hourglass seem to be missing from fontawesome-regular.sh.

I am having similar issues. Any work around? What can I do to help resolve this issue?

I have the same issue.

I'm having this issue on OSX, though no problems on linux. Possible solution for @jottr:

The 10-symbols.conf should be structured like:

FontAwesome Pomodoro Octicons Icomoon PragmataPro

Seems like OSX is not supporting the fallback strategy, you need to install a patched font, you can find some in here
