[SOLVED] Urxvt not rendering devicons for Ranger

I'm trying to enable devicons in Ranger in my urxvt terminal. Where icons should render I instead see squares.

So far I've installed this patched font: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nerd-fonts-terminus/

Followed this guide: https://github.com/alexanderjeurissen/r … structions

And the font is definitely rendering in urxvt as I've configured in Xresources but icons are still squares in Ranger.

Compare

urxvt -fn 'xft:TerminessTTF Nerd Font Mono-12"
urxvt -fn 'xft:TerminessTTF Nerd Font Mono-12,xft:Symbols Nerd Font-8"

Notice that the symbols font is deliberately smaller that the main font, don't change that.
Report the outcome.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rxvt … ideglyphs/ has more relaxed font handling (you'll still have to define all fonts you want to use)
Additional benefit of self-compiling is that you can enable pixbuf support for background images.
