Troubleshooting

Pdiary was designed to display symbols/glyphs as icons instead of emojis. Maybe you like to use Pdiary with emojis, personally i think it's very ugly but the choice is yours.

You may encounter missing icons/symbols, this occurs because you don't have the appropriate font to display them. You can solve this by installing this font.

  • Debian/Ubuntu: apt install fonts-symbola

  • Arch Linux: You can find the package "ttf-symbola" in AUR.

To display the icons corretly you need to remove the font with the emojis. In Ubunbu/Debian the package is called "fonts-noto-color-emoji" On arch it is "noto-fonts-emoji" In another distributions the name must be similar.

Known Issues

  • In some old terminals without support to new technologies some errors may occur, like the non exhibition of some icons and some characters, it can also have some trouble with colors.
  • Pdiary is responsive, positioning is done according to terminal sizes, but sometimes it might break. If so, try in a terminal with a different size.
