[SOLVED] URxvt and Unicode Symbols

Hello,

I am desperately trying to display some unicode symbols. Here is an example:

(it's powerline-shell)

Here is my Xresources:

!----------------
!  Xft Settings
!----------------

Xft.dpi: 117
Xft.antialias:  true
Xft.hinting:    true
Xft.rgba:       rgb
Xft.autohint:   false
Xft.hintstyle:  hintfull
Xft.lcdfilter:  lcddefault


!----------------
!  Font Setting
!----------------

URxvt*font: xft:Iosevka:style=Regular:size=13,xft:DejaVuSansMono Nerd Font:style=Book,xft:Symbola:style=Rugular,xft:FontAwesome:style=Regular
URxvt*boldFont:

I installed rxvt-unicode-patched.

Here is locale :

LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

And I also install nerd-fonts-complete from the aur.

Thank you very much in advance.

Re: [SOLVED] URxvt and Unicode Symbols

Could you try another, more simple, font configuration?

Urxvt.font:  xft:Dejavu Sans Mono:pixelsize=15

Or, try to open a new urxvt, something as:

urxvt -fn "xft:Dejavu Sans Mono:pixelsize=15"

For test echo -e '\u2693',

Because not all of us are native English speakers, try no to use slang or abbreviations, thank you.

Re: [SOLVED] URxvt and Unicode Symbols

Thank you very much for your reply.

It now works perfectly, by adding the DejaVu Sans Mono font.
