Terminal zsh font icons are not displayed correctly

[webmastak]

I use zsh and font - MesloLGSDZ Nerd Font RegularPowerline. This is how it is displayed in gnome-terminal or tilix:

And this is in atom-ide-terminal:

What could be the problem?

Thank you for reaching out with this question.

I'll go ahead and assume you have also configured platformio-ide-terminal to use same font.

The only difference is the brightness, and there is a workaround in https://github.com/platformio/platformio-atom-ide-terminal/issues/420

Failing that, theres not much else to do here, except implement #426

Thanks brightness corrected. But I'm more interested in the fact that the font icons are not displayed correctly.

Font Family in Settings tried to set does not help!

Try Atoms font settings also, but in any case we need xterm.js for better compatibility with terminals and shells in various OS (#426), because the current term.js is unmaintained/outdated/buggy its not suprising we see these issues.

That said, the font icons, are they part of zsh or is it something you added to get these?

Is there an answer to this?

Added the font name correctly and it all worked - MesloLGSDZ Nerd Font Mono

I have some problem also and , the icons not showing on my terminal, and sometimes I can't type also, when I click the terminal by cursor, it blocked the terminal , u can see the yellow color there, how can I fix that??

[the-j0k3r]

@harmnot Can you please open a new bug report and fill in all the details asked, as is, Ive no idea how to even start to look into your issue.

That said if youre using some added user customization, its probably some setting or something you forgot or it should be done and wasnt. These things are outside the scope of support.

[harmnot]

do you want me to record what's going on on the terminal?? so u can see what's going on my terminal, but how I can record GIF to show it on here?

[the-j0k3r]

I would like the issue template fully filled inwith as much relevant info as possible and extra details like screenshots/gif added also. For gif captures depends on OS, for Windows you have ScreentoGif For Linux you have Peek For macOS I have no idea but this app

I use zsh with oh-my-zsh - turns out, all I needed to do, was to set the font-family to MesloLGS NF to show the icons.
