Hello.
I am unable to make the system show unicode chars correctly.
for example i3status is like this: (boxes should be characters)
52% | 69.8 GB | | | | 63°C | 01% | 0.56 | 39 Friday 29.September 22:25:52
I have tweaked a lot with options but still no luck!
I am using gnome (wayland), and many fonts seem missing.
Very annoying bug and haven’t found any fix yet
Current fonts config in configuration.nix
fonts.packages = with pkgs; [
noto-fonts
noto-fonts-cjk
noto-fonts-emoji
liberation_ttf
fira-code
fira-code-symbols
mplus-outline-fonts.githubRelease
dina-font
proggyfonts
];
fonts.fontconfig.defaultFonts.emoji = ["Noto Color Emoji"];
This is how those characters show up on my system:
PS: If there was a way to have all unicode characters with a defined meaning on my system, for every alphabet from every language and every emoji I would do it. even if it was like 100GB
I had a similar problem while using an old polybar config. The problem i was having was because my font (in my case SpaceMono) did not include any nerd font symbols, after switching to using nerd font the issue was fixed.
I installed and added nerdfonts to fonts.packages without any overloading, so I guess I installed all the nerdfonts. problem seems to persist even after rebooting
