Question

Nothing showing in Debian 8 using Terminator and patched fonts

f3bruary opened this issue 7 years ago · comments

I installed it successfully but there is nothing showing in ls.
I also installed it on a server (also Debian) and it works fine there. Both using zsh.

No idea where to start debugging. Perhaps you can point me in the right direction ?

Does running ls_colors_generator output the font icons?

nope, seems like gibberish with color containing file extensions here and there.

Are you sure you changed Terminator's font?

Yes. It is working in an ssh shell after all (also using terminator).

Does $TERM influence this ?

Can you show your Terminator configuration?

I don't think $TERM influences this.

Sure, although there's not much in there that can cause this. I use the same terminal emulator the the ssh session after all.

Does the font section work with other fonts? Try it with:
a) A non-powerline font
b) A powerline font

I've tried this. All fonts give me the same gibberish when running ls_colors_generator

EDIT: Wanted to add that now both in ssh as local shells show no icons. Dunno what I am doing wrong. I've tried re-installing but it's still the same.

Any ideas ? I'd really like to get this working. I've ran install.sh and reinstalled nerd fonts. Still same issue.

I've discovered something interesting. In zsh (oh-my-zsh) when I enter interactive autocompletion (e.g. ls ) I see icons !

Some seem a bit off though, like there's another icon underneath the one showing.
