Some time ago Konsole stopped drawing icons properly, like the little house symbol for the home directory. Instead the icons are missing, or if I change the font appear as rectangles instead.
The strange thing is this used to work fine and I haven’t touched the theme or font settings. Even the default Hack font does it: By default I use Roboto Mono [GOOG] as I also have Roboto set as my system font everywhere. Selecting other fonts causes them to show up but other stuff becomes ugly.
On my laptop which doesn’t have the issue, I can select any font and the icons don’t break. Something must have changed on my desktop: Can anyone think of what and offer a pointer?
Just did and restarted Konsole, but even then the issue persists. I even set the font to Droid Sans Mono like in the screenshot, only change from Roboto Mono is the icons go from invisible to rectangles.
Well, I guess you’re missing some font packages, because those icons are part of the fonts themselves. All I can advise you is to try out a couple of different fonts, but be sure to select a monospaced font — terminal output looks horrible with a proportional font.
Which could they be? I have manjaro-zsh-config installed which is the only one I read about. Maybe one got uninstalled by accident, I only remove Orphaned and Foreign from Pamac.
That is most likely the reason.
