Weird symbols in status bar. #21

I'm getting weird symbols in my tmux status bar instead of arrows:

Running tmux in xfce terminal on Xubuntu 17.04 Installed nord-tmux through tpm Font: Source Code Medium installed via Google Fonts

I think you need patched fonts. You can download patched Source Code Pro fonts from https://github.com/powerline/fonts/tree/master/SourceCodePro

I'm using the official Source Code Pro Medium font from adobe-fonts/source-code-pro and it works fine without patching running Tilix terminal on Arch Linux.

@davidrthorn Can you please try if it works when using the font from the official GitHub Repository? You can use something like this Gist. If it doesn't work try the patched font from the Nerd Fonts project.

I installed nerd font and then adobe. Now the symbols work, but xfce terminal does not display the fonts properly. Letters overlap, it's a mess. I think I'll have to tolerate the missing symbols.

@davidrthorn Try to use different font sizes. A user with a similar problem solved it by changing the font size from 14 to 15 as described in https://github.com/arcticicestudio/nord-tmux/issues/18#issuecomment-354303824.

Tried already, no success. Same problem in gnome-terminal

arcticicestudio commented 6 years ago

So I've currently no more idea what's the origin of this problem. You can remove the corrupted glyphs by using the theme configuration to disable patched fonts.

OK, final stab succeeded. I think it was just the font choice. Downloaded font directly from Nerd Font website (not GitHub) and all fonts render properly. Installed by unzipping to their own folder in ~/.local/share/fonts then ran fc-cache -vf ~/.local/share/fonts/

Nice to hear it works fine now :smile:
