🎯 Subject of the issue

Experienced behavior: After upgrade from v2.3.1 to v2.3.2, the layout of Firefox UI seems broken: in some places - a lot more whitespace than before, or text incorrectly offset to the bottom. Also affects some websites.

Removal/downgrade of the packages: ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols-1000-em or ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols-2048-em fixes the problem.

Expected behavior: No change after package upgrade

Example symbols: N/A. Lables without any special symbols are affected.

🔧 Your Setup

• Which font are you using (e.g. Anonymice Powerline Nerd Font Complete.ttf)?
  • Symbols-1000-em Nerd Font Complete.ttf

  • Arch Linux packages: ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols-1000-em, ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols-2048-em
• Which terminal emulator are you using (e.g. iterm2, urxvt, gnome, konsole)?

Do you have the 2.3.2-1 package (or without -1)? I wanted to download the package, can not find a download link quickly, maybe you have a tip?

Found it ;-)

[Finii]

Ah I see...

The package needs a 2.3.2-2, will try to reach the maintainer.

[Finii]

@polyzen I guess you are the maintainer of ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols-2048-em

Can you please do a repackage of both Symbols Only fonts? You were too fast, I fixed a bug in the Symbols Only font right after release and changed the release zip file, but obviously not fast enough. Yes, I would normally have done 2.3.3 or 2.3.2-p1 release, but I thought I was ahead of the packagers ;-)

@amezin Do you know a better way to reach Daniel M. Capella?

[Finii]

:thinking: .o( I really really hate how the Nerd Fonts releases work )

If we can not sort this out 'soon' (whatever this means) I can push out a new release and hope that it triggers an automatic rebuild of the arch package.

@amezin Do you know a better way to reach Daniel M. Capella?

No.

I've opened a bug report in Arch Linux too: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/77254

[Finii]

It breaks 'everywhere'. I noticed the problem right after release when the Nerd Fonts webpage used the new font and it was bOrkeN. That's why I fixed it immediately and (just) changed the archive file.

Hey, another ArchLinux maintainer here. I ran into this issue as well and woul like to help out. Though, we're loading the fonts from e.g. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/v$pkgver/patched-fonts/NerdFontsSymbolsOnly/complete/Symbols-1000-em%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete.ttf where the archive doesn't really matter. Could you pull a 2.3.2.1 or 2.3.3 release please?

In my experience fixing bugs in releases is a rabbit hole. Better pull another release and keep the release of shame than trying to fix it. We run into this kind of things more often then we'd like to :)

Your efforts maintaining this repo are much appreciated. I love the font collection :+1:

[Finii]

Ok, let me fix the missing license files (code is like 10 years old), and then I re-release.

[Finii]

Release triggered, will take some hours.

@amezin Please check 2.3.3 in [community]

@amezin Do you know a better way to reach Daniel M. Capella?

Pinging me on GitHub is sufficient, you could also use my email or IRC.

@amezin Please check 2.3.3 in [community]

@freswa, the packages didn't make it all the way to the repos, but that's resolved now. :p
