[SOLVED] Font icons of weird size larger then selection

ollosh · 2022-09-20 19:17:52

I've recently installed Arch with xorg on Thinkpad T14 G3 AMD. Since I've had previously a setup that worked I've slowly migrated it and configured, but one thing that sticks out is the size of the font icons for some reason take more space then they should. To better explain what I mean I'll post a screenshot. On the SS you can clearly see that the selection takes less space then the actual screenshot

Font icons of weird size

Font is from nerd-fonts which I've manually installed through install.sh script.

Anyone has an idea what could be the problem? Let me know if any other info would be useful

That's because the battery symbol takes more than 2 bytes in UTF-8.
See @Seth's answer.

Hmm ok, that something. Do you think there is a reason why it was behaving 'normally' in my previous system?

The problem rather sems to be that the battery icon is resolved from a variable width font?
Which font do you use exactly?

I'm using FuraMono Nerd Font for these icons specifically

seth · 2022-09-20 20:37:36

There're 4 of them?

fc-list | grep -i fura

Also which utf-8 codepoint is any of those batteries in that font (I assume it's somewhere in the private range)?

Edit: my guess is btw. since there's an explicit "Mono" version, that one will have the icons in monospace while the other one has the FiraMono font, but the patched on icons use a variable width - and that'd be the one you end up using.

Yeah, you are right, Mono version is working correctly!
