Icons are not rendered properly when nerd font is used as a fallback font in urxvt
BeliyDot opened this issue · comments
I have wanted to have icons in lf, so I've installed one of nerd fonts (Cousine Nerd Font). Because Cousine wasn't looking same as Courier Prime, I've decided to use Courier as a base font, and Cousine as a fallback font. But the problem is, icons from nerd font are cut off in the termnial (urxvt, or to be more precise, rxvt-unicode-truecolor-wide-glyphs). For first I thought it was lf problem, but I saw it in neovim too.

Btw, when I use only the nerd font, the problem disappears.
I can assume that this problem refers to a size of a glyph box/character cell, but IDK how to change it without changing the base font size. And the problem persists until I set the size of nerd font to 6, but the icons are too small with that size.
I would suggest you just self-patch Courier Prime.
This seems no problem with the Nerd Fonts but struggling with the client setup, so sorry, I can not help here.
