🎯 Subject of the issue

Experienced behavior: No borders.

Expected behavior: Borders.

Example symbols: I don't know the codepoint for these non-text glyphs. The fastest way to see these borders for me is to open helix (text editor) and use <Space> to get a little context menu. This is the same border that is used in neovim's telescope plugin, and I believe vim and neovim's which key plugins, so those would also work. The working screenshot is Iosevka and all other Nerd Fonts I've tested work except for Roboto.

🔧 Your Setup

• Which font are you using (e.g. Anonymice Powerline Nerd Font Complete.ttf)?
  • Roboto Mono Nerd Font Complete Mono Windows Compatible.ttf
• Where did you get the file from (download link, self patched, source downloaded from link...) Here, directly, as well as using the giant install script. Same results either way.
• Which terminal emulator are you using (e.g. iterm2, urxvt, gnome, konsole)?
  • it's the cmd.exe window via git for windows or MINGW64 or whathaveyou.
• Are you using OS X, Linux or Windows? And which specific version or distribution?
  • Windows 10.

Thanks for reporting this.

Nerd Fonts does not patch in the border glyphs. Either the font did have them to start with, or they will also not be in the patched font.

But fear not, others also noticed the problem

• 1108

and because it (that we do not touch them) proses possible problems (whatever, the details are not important here), we have this:

• 1125

I guess that it will be incoporated in the next days and will then be part of v3.0.0.

If you need the font earlier, you can patch with the patcher from the PR branch, or wait until it has been merged and then use the docker or zip archive to self-patch (which is easier than patching from a branch).

I guess that it will be incorporated in the next days and will then be part of v3.0.0.

That's fantastic news. I look for ward to it.
