[SOLVED] i need help to find what fonts i missing in my system

the problem:

in firefox i can see the unicode number instead of the empty squares:

solved with the help of:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 4#p2204934
specific in google chrome i changed the `Fixed-width font` which defaults to `monospace`, into `JetBrainsMono Nerd Font`, and now i can see all the icons.

# also type in the terminal

# depending on if you use root user or not sudo is optional
#sudo pacman -S terminus-font

# dont forget dash and zsh use sh
