Icons missing about lvim HOT 11 CLOSED

That worked! Thanks!

from lvim.

Hey @abzcoding , thanks for your reply.
I've installed the missing fonts with:

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew search nerd-font
brew install --cask font-fira-code
brew install --cask font-victor-mono-nerd-font
brew install --cask font-iosevka
brew install --cask font-hack-nerd-font

(see the corrected line for installing the iosevka) font but still I am not seeing any icons :/ any idea?

from lvim.

sure thing :)
there are two sets of icons

1. in the normal lunarvim, you can use any of the Nerd Fonts that you like. Bear in mind that you need to configure your terminal to use those fonts as well

2. in my own setup, I'm using a fork
   

   lvim/config.lua

   Lines 47 to 49 in 40c7b65

   	local user = os.getenv "USER"
   	if user and user == "abz" then
   	lvim.builtin.nvim_web_devicons = { active = false }

and you can check my terminal configuration to see how I'm setting them up

from lvim.

btw in readme you need to expand the Other Stuff part and then the link works

edit: now it should be easier to find

from lvim.

if you want to use iosevka, you need the nerd font variant

basically only nerd font variants contain the icons/glyphs

from lvim.

same for the fira-code

from lvim.

also make sure that you've set the correct font on your terminal emulator
for example in alacritty ( inside ~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml )

font:
  normal:
    family: "FiraCode Nerd Font"
    style: Retina
  size: 13
  offset:
    x: 0
    y: 8
  ligatures: true

or in kitty( ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf )

font_family      FiraCode Nerd Font Retina
font_size 13.0
adjust_line_height +5
symbol_map U+e900-U+e954 mini-file-icons # only if you want to use the mini-file-icons font

from lvim.

you can also just download and install the fonts directly, for example FiraCode Nerd Font

from lvim.

font:
  normal:
    family: "FiraCode Nerd Font"
    style: Retina
  size: 13
  offset:
    x: 0
    y: 8
  ligatures: true

Thank you! Not sure if I understood everything correctly. After installing the font variants and using the above-mentioned config (which loads the font in alacritty correctly) the icons still won't show up :/

from lvim.

you can't use the mini-file-icons in alacritty -> so please remove this line from your config and do a :PackerSync

  lvim.builtin.nvim_web_devicons = { active = false }

also, here is my full alacritty config, it might be helpful

font:
  normal:
    family: "FiraCode Nerd Font"
    style: Retina
  bold:
    family: "FiraCode Nerd Font"
    style: Retina
  italic:
    family: "Hack Nerd Font"
    style: Italic
  bold_italic:
    family: "Hack Nerd Font"
    style: Italic
  size: 13
  offset:
    x: 0
    y: 8

  ligatures: true
  glyph_offset:
    x: 0
    y: 0

  use_thin_strokes: true

other than that, i'd suggest doing a :LvimCacheReset as well

from lvim.
