Context icon not displayed properly

[vinaychandra]

As you can see, the font is installed correctly but the prompt is breaking in between. What is the solution for this probelm

[dritter]

What do you mean by saying the prompt breaks in between? Do you want a multiline-prompt? If so, you need to set POWERLEVEL9K_PROMPT_ON_NEWLINE=true.

Sorry for my english. I meant that the icon that is being displayed is broken. In the first line, the home icon is partially displayed. I want to set it right

[dritter]

No need to apologize. I was to stupid to see the broken icon in the first place. 😄

The problem is quite complex, and has to do with how the terminal editor renders multi-width glyphs. So it is more an issue somewhere there (nothing we can really do about).

A quick solution could be to render more whitespace after the icon.. Set POWERLEVEL9K_HOME_ICON=$'\UE12C ' (note the whitespace after the codepoint). This codepoint is for awesome-patched-mode. If you use awesome-fontconfig, it should be \UF015.

It might also be a setting in your terminal emulator. Maybe there is somewhere a switch to treat all fonts as monospaced fonts..

Btw. which terminal emulator do you use? Is that terminix?

[vinaychandra]

It is Konsole. Also the solution worked. But the problem is that this happens with almost all icons. So, it would be a head ache to find and fix every single location. It would be great if there is some other way. Anyway, thank you 😄 👍

[dritter]

Okay. Good to know. But did giving the icon more whitespace work?

[vinaychandra]

Yes. Giving the icon more whitespace worked. Thank you 😃

@vinaychandra I patched the problem using this ugly code:

for key in ${(k)icons[@]}
do
    if [[ ! $key =~ 'SEPARATOR' ]]
    then
        icons[$key]=" ${icons[$key]} "
    fi
done

Add it after antigen apply in your .zshrc.
