Powerline symbols don't show up on urxvt anymore

Closed this issue ยท 4 comments

Using archlinux. A recent update has rendered the Powerline symbols to show up as boxes in urxvt.

Good news: I was able to reproduce the bug and used git bisect to find the offending commit da7f8e8.

Got it! ๐Ÿ’ก The encoding on those BDF fonts retained the original Tamsyn encoding since I stopped using bitmap-font-patcher to inject Powerline symbols (they're ported from my hand-tuned font instead). :neckbeard:

-CHARSET_REGISTRY "ISO10646"
+CHARSET_REGISTRY "ISO8859"

This makes URxvt think that the TamzenForPowerline fonts don't have any Unicode codepoints and so it renders boxes in place of Powerline symbols. ๐Ÿ˜“

Fixed now in commit b211df9. ๐ŸŽ… Thanks for reporting this issue! ๐Ÿ‘

Thanks for the quick fix
