It looks like the g:vista#renderer#icons is incorrect, I'm using gnome-terminal.

Facing a similar issue.

My terminal emulator is Kitty and the font is monofur, which is a powerline-ready font (I also have PowerlineSymbols installed). This was all rendering just fine with the default icon and indent_icon settings until I updated last week.

[Liu-Cheng Xu]

I don't think it's related to vista.vim as there are almost no updates in the last a few months. If you don't see the other way around, just override g:vista#renderer#icons in your vimrc to replace the strange icons on your side.

[Ginger Old]

Yes I ended up override all of them with ascii

[MajorDallas]

Would it at least be possible to recommend some unicode fonts that provide reasonable glyphs? Of the 25 unique codepoints in renderer.vim, 9 of them are not covered by any font on my system and 10 of them are covered by only one font that has assigned calligraphic Tibetan glyphs to those codepoints. They're beautiful, but not helpful 😃 .
