Missing Nerd Font ???

[Darkcast]

Hi, quick question,

OS ubuntu version: zellij 0.40.1 Error:

Im getting missing icons and I understand I probrobably have one or more missing nerd font but I dont know which one can someone tell me which one/s do I need to install to fix the issue?

I already tried this zellij options --simplified-ui true but its kind of a hazzle everytime I have to launch it

an improvement would be to check if the font is installed or not and tell you which one are missing and where to find them etc.

Thanks for the help :)

Did you install any nerd fonts?

Hi, thanks for your reply, I have not becaue nerf font has almost a hundred of megs/gigs of fonts and I dont think I just want to install the fonts required and not every nerd font under the sun just for icons.

Heres a reference: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/tag/v3.2.1/

Hey there, hate to necropost, but you can select your preferred font out of this list. You only need one, so select whatever tickles your fancy :3

You can install it by following these steps:

1. Download the font from the page I linked
2. Unzip it, either by using your installed graphical archive manager, or using the unzip command-line tool, installable with sudo apt install unzip (example usage: unzip 0xProto.zip)
3. In a terminal, cd into the directory containing the fonts (example: cd ~/Downloads/0xProto)
4. Copy fonts to your ~/.fonts directory, creating it if it doesn't exist: mkdir ~/.fonts && cp *.ttf ~/.fonts
5. Reload your font cache: fc-cache -fv

edit: we can probably close this issue now, if any of the maintainers are seeing this

The simplest solution without touching fonts is in its configuration file ~/.config/zellij/config.kdl :

after install font，you should change font in terminal perference which you install.
