Vanilla Doom Can't Find Fonts Stored Under $HOME

[tompurl]

What did you expect to happen?

Vanilla Doom to do the following:

1. Find my fonts stored under $HOME/.local/share/fonts
2. Render the all-the-icons-related fonts.

I'm running on WSL2 on Windows 10 with VcxSrv.

What actually happened?

Here's an error message that I get when I try to load a local font:

custom-initialize-reset: Font not available: #<font-spec nil nil ETBembo nil nil nil nil nil 13 nil nil nil nil>

Describe your attempts to resolve the issue

I tried running the following command in Vanilla Emacs, which was configured with only Melpa, use-package and all-the-icons:

(insert (all-the-icons-icon-for-file "foo.js"))

In vanilla emacs the character rendered correctly. In vanilla Doom it prints an invisible character.

I then wanted to make sure the fonts were in my cache:

fc-list | grep "all-the-icons"
/home/tom/.fonts/all-the-icons.ttf: all\-the\-icons:style=Regular
/home/tom/.local/share/fonts/all-the-icons.ttf: all\-the\-icons:style=Regular
...
➜ fc-list | grep "ETBembo"
/home/tom/.fonts/et-book-display-italic-old-style-figures.ttf: ETBembo:style=DisplayItalic
/home/tom/.local/share/fonts/et-book-semi-bold-old-style-figures.ttf: ETBembo:style=SemiBoldOSF
/home/tom/.fonts/et-book-bold-line-figures.ttf: ETBembo:style=BoldLF
/home/tom/.local/share/fonts/et-book-roman-line-figures.ttf: ETBembo:style=RomanLF
/home/tom/.local/share/fonts/et-book-bold-line-figures.ttf: ETBembo:style=BoldLF
/home/tom/.fonts/et-book-semi-bold-old-style-figures.ttf: ETBembo:style=SemiBoldOSF
/home/tom/.fonts/et-book-roman-line-figures.ttf: ETBembo:style=RomanLF
/home/tom/.local/share/fonts/et-book-roman-old-style-figures.ttf: ETBembo:style=RomanOSF
/home/tom/.fonts/et-book-roman-old-style-figures.ttf: ETBembo:style=RomanOSF
/home/tom/.local/share/fonts/et-book-display-italic-old-style-figures.ttf: ETBembo:style=DisplayItalic

Doom doctor says that the fonts are available:

> Checking Doom Emacs...
  ✓ Initialized Doom Emacs 3.0.0-dev
  ✓ Detected 27 modules
  ✓ Detected 95 packages
  > Checking Doom core for irregularities...
    Found font material-design-icons.ttf
    Found font weathericons.ttf
    Found font octicons.ttf
    Found font fontawesome.ttf
    Found font file-icons.ttf
    Found font all-the-icons.ttf

I've also run 'fc-cache -f -v` about 100 times :-)

I also installed the fonts under Windows 10 (outside of WSL) to see if that would help.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install Vanilla Doom
2. Open Doom Emacs

I have the same issue except I'm on Linux using Doom Emacs.

nvm, the font wasn't installed. Directed towards a solution by this post: https://old.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/sy122l/setting_fonts_doom_emacs/
