Spacing issues on macOS #70

Closed bmulholland closed 2 years ago

bmulholland commented 3 years ago

There are weird blank spots and alignment issues on macOS that I haven't seen using the same config on different (G)UIs:

Near the end of a line: there's text not showing, as you can see where my cursor is:

Here there are weird spaces before the :: chars:

Here there's one space before and after the = sign. Also, the word actually reads "URL" and the cursor is on the R - but it's overlapping the L, so you see two R's.

And here's the telescope UI:

Yeah that doesn't look right. I think it might (potentially) be that the font width is bigger than nvui has calculated it? Some questions:

guifont is VictorMono Nerd Font. It has ligatures so maybe that's the problem?

Don't have time to test different fonts or sizes right now, will report back later.

rohit-px2 commented 3 years ago

Ligatures shouldn't be the problem. Could you try building #68 and seeing if that fixes it?

Actually I think it might be the font. I just installed Victor Mono Nerd Font on Windows and those graphical glitches are showing up for me. Victor Mono (non-nerd font) works perfectly fine though. I'll try to fix this. In the meantime, if other fonts are working, you can try defining a fallback font e.g. set guifont=Victor\ Mono,FiraCode\ NF for nerd font fallback. Edit: I tried set guifont=Victor\ Mono,VictorMono\ NF and I don't get any glitches. It might be a ligature bug due to patching with nerd fonts.

Thanks for the workaround. I'm evaluating other GUIs now, will come back around to nvui later :)
