multiple glyphs missing in regolith-look-nord (regolith 2.0)

[ploum]

I guess that some fonts packages are missing

[ploum]

Is probably a duplicate of #629

[kgilmer]

Hmm, I am not seeing this in my instance of Regolith 2 using nord:

Perhaps you have some Xresources being loaded from Regolith 1.x? (You can run xrdb -query to see all Xresource keys that are set)

[ploum]

I can confirm that there’s definitely a problem with look-default and look-nord. Using my own custom theme has no problem.

[kgilmer]

Hmm, do you have these fonts installed?

$ apt list --installed | grep fonts-nerd

yes

The "nord" theme seems to use SauceCodePro, which I don’t have on my system and I don’t find in Debian.

[kgilmer]

Not sure why they changed the name of the font as installed on the system but the dependent package is declared in the package and it's working for me. You also have the correct package as listed up above. What does this say on your machine?

$ xrescat i3-wm.bar.font
pango:SauceCodePro Nerd Font Mono 13

Yes, packages installed and xrescat correctl.

I confirm that both are fixed. It seems that the "thermometer/temperature" icon is still broken

[linxichen]

I think I found a solution in the regolith 3 era:

it turns out wm.bar.font is not set in some looks. I have to add it in my own Xresources and all the weird symbol/character issue go away

wm.bar.font: RobotoMono Nerd Font Regular 11

However, the font choice must match that of the look itself (defined in gtk.font_name e.g.)!. You can't just customize the font or the glyphs will go bonkers

@kgilmer Should raise a simple PR in the regolith-looks repo?

[kgilmer]

Hi @linxichen ,

Hmm, so for Nord, the font is set here, and then used to load the Xresources key here. You're saying this isn't working for you? If you're able to check, if you revert your fix, does wm.bar.font have any value set on a fresh session?
