Questions for all #emacs and #spacemacs people: why it do this (at the bottom, the powerline I think it's called)
@jordyd i think it's because of font issues? i just left it that way
@CobaltVelvet I won't sleep at night until this is fixed
@jordyd @CobaltVelvet you need to get some powerline patched fonts and use those. (Set them up in your .spacemacs, SPC f e d; under dotspacemacs-default-font)
@fabianhjr @CobaltVelvet @arisunz I installed some patched fonts to ~/.local/share/fonts, but I can't get emacs to use them. I tried "Source Code Pro", "Source Code Pro for Powerline", and "Source Code Pro Powerline", none of which fix it
@jordyd @arisunz @CobaltVelvet what distro are you using?
@fabianhjr @CobaltVelvet @arisunz Arch Linux, also I'm using GNOME
@jordyd @arisunz @CobaltVelvet I am not too sure about this but looks like there is a simple fix.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Powerline#Fonts
Just `sudo pacman -S powerline-fonts`
@fabianhjr @CobaltVelvet @arisunz I tried that too but it didn’t seem to work :/
@jordyd @arisunz @CobaltVelvet
Could you `M-x describe-font` in Spacemacs?
@jordyd @arisunz @CobaltVelvet it is fethcing the non-powerline patched font from /usr/share/fonts/
Maybe remove adobe-source-code-pro-fonts and keep the ones you got into ~/.local/share/fonts ?
@CobaltVelvet @arisunz @jordyd a second option could be installing https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nerd-fonts-complete/
and using that one?
@fabianhjr @arisunz @CobaltVelvet I installed this. The install completed "successfully" (0 exit status) but when trying to update the font cache it complained about "/usr/share/fonts/TTF" not existing. I'm going to make that directory and retry, as it's not working
