Nerd Font that ticks all the boxes?

Open takuhii opened this issue 10 months ago • 6 comments

Does anyone have a recommendation for a nerd font that ticks all the boxes and shows all the icons in EZA.

I am using iTerm2 (latest), and never see all the icons, so would appreciate any recommendations and settings advice that helps display all the icons I should be seeing :)

My prompt looks like this Image

Try MenloLGS NF.

I did used to use that font, but IO don't see any difference between either of them in iTerm2. My font settings are this Image

Have I set it up wrong or am I destined to always see the question mark?

Might be worth pointing out I am using Powerline10K in UTF8 mode on a ZSH based console/terminal...

@takuhii Uncheck the option Use built-in Powerline glyphs in your iTerm2 Settings

Still no difference TBH, this is with MenloLGS NF font activated and Powerline Glyphs disabled Image

@takuhii By MesloLGS NF I'm assuming that you're downloading the one made for Powerlevel10k here? In my experience, while it's missing a few of the newer nerd font icons (e.g. toml icon), it should have no issue displaying the folders and files in your screenshot 🤔.

If you downloaded the font long time ago, it might worth trying to re-install them in case a newer version is available, which may have patched the icons that are missing.


Side note: As mentioned above, even the latest version of MesloLGS NF is ~2 years old and is missing a few of the newer nerd font icons. While this should cover most cases, I got slightly annoyed by the few missing ones (which is why I stumbled upon this issue during Google search lol). At the end, I re-generated a patched version of the MesloLGS NF fonts using the newest nerd font patcher (v3.4.0).

Feel free to give these patched font files a shot if you're interested: MesloLGS-NF-patched.zip
