Icons showing in terminal only when highlighted

Issues & Assistance KDE
1

Good day community,

I have this small issue, only a minor really - when I perform commands in terminal (tabby), the icons that are supposed to show are replaced by a square. They are only visible when highlighted, as seen in image below.

could it be this issue

There have been a few codepoints that have been dropped after the latest update of the nerd font and I too was facing an issue similar to yours. Though I never checked if selecting them like this would bring them back to life.
anyways I used

nerdfix check ~/.config/starship.toml

which outputted all the outdated codepoints and their latest replacement along with on which line they were on too. I replaced the obsolete codepoints and I was done.

Here is nerdfix's github repo in case you wish to use the tool

I would suggest using cargo to install nerdfix as the other alternative nix is quite a hassle. just remember to add the ~/.cargo to your path in order to be able to use the binaries it has compiled.

Sadly, this does not fix my issue. Nerdfont found some obsolete fonts, but the issue still persists. As you can see, in starship.toml the icon is displayed correctly:

I hope you replaced those obsolete codepoints they could cause issues later.

Well moving on I took a look at kde’s konsole and font related bugs but couldn’t find anything that relates to your current issue. Although this has nothing to do with the glyphs but checking never hurts perhaps your font ligatures have been turned off by an update. It has happened once to me in the past.

To enable ligatures in 22.12:

In "Edit profile" dialog, select page "Appearance" and then tab "Complex Text Layout"

Enable "Word mode" and "ASCII characters". Make sure to "Use the same attributes for whole word" is disabled.

I just noticed you haven’t restarted since your last system update. Try rebooting your device that helps sometimes.

From what I read this is an issue only with Tabby? These display correctly in Konsole for me, so I guess its a problem with that particular application only?

Oh I missed the tabby part for some reason. :sweat_smile: I guess I should read a little more carefully.

I am guessing you simply haven’t encountered the deprecated codepoints in your daytoday work. This is an closed issue on the nerd font’s github repo it occurred almost 3 weeks ago.

Yes, I've checked it now and the issue is only with Tabby, working good in Konsole.

Sorry, it's not an error in Garuda, but in Tabby.

I will try to be more thorough before posting a problem in the future.
