[SOLVED] icons and fonts

Hi all,
I use Arch+Hyprland and first off all look at the picture. I have font awesome and nerd fonts installed. And as you can already see a problem, some icons showing correctly and some don't. And it not only in browser it's the same all around system for example at waybar. And it's happened after I reinstalled fresh Arch+hyprland system. On my old system, the same code worked correctly. Thank you for your time.

Re: [SOLVED] icons and fonts

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … s_and_code
You're missing font coverage for F5E5 which also is in the PUA (ie. every font can put there whatever it wants - you need to use a specific font to get a specific glyph)
On your old system run

fc-list :charset=f5e5

It shall list all the installed fonts that cover that codepoint - then you'll have to figure which on is the "correct" one.

https://www.nerdfonts.com/cheat-sheet used to have nf-mdi-bullhorn there (but withdrawn because of PUA collisions) - if you install and use a nerd font, you can use all glyphs you can find on that cheat-sheet.

Thank you very much for this icons search page! I didn't see that. Aperantly some of these missing icons are discontinued. I just replaced them with new ones in my system and everything is fine now.
