Octicons, Faicon aren't being displayed

[mauriciocm9]

I don't know why these 2 icons cannot being displayed I leave a picture. I'm using windows 10 with emacs 25.3.1, I have installed the fonts in my computer.

I've just updated the README. Can you diagnose the problem according to this troubleshooting guide? Let me know if you still can't solve the problem.

I hit a similar problem. I have Consolas set as my default font as per the line below. If I remove this setting from my init.el then the icons render correctly.

(set-face-font 'default "-*-Consolas-normal-normal-normal-*-14-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1")

Edit: This is with all-the-icons version 20190223.2143 and Emacs 26.1 on Windows 10.

After following the troubleshooting guide I now have the following fix in my init.el:

(set-face-font 'default "-*-Consolas-normal-normal-normal-*-14-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1")

(let ((fontset (face-attribute 'default :fontset)))
  (set-fontset-font fontset '(?\xf000 . ?\xf2ff) "FontAwesome" nil 'append)
)

I can do the same to get the Octicon icon set working, but I can't get them both working at the same time as it seems that the codepoints used in these two sets overlap.

So I've found a fix and it's as simple as changing the registry of my default font from iso10646 to iso8859. I don't really understand what this parameter does but it seems to work. Seems to be Windows specfic as on macOS I have the font set with the iso10646 registry without any problems.

In summary, changing the face config in my init.el from:

(set-face-font 'default "-*-Consolas-normal-normal-normal-*-14-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1")

to:

(set-face-font 'default "-*-Consolas-normal-normal-normal-*-14-*-*-*-m-0-iso8859-1")

fixed this issue for me.

It also works fine with the simpler form (set-face-font 'default "Consolas-11")

Sounds like a bug you should report upstream. M-x report-emacs-bug is your friend.

It is fair to say this is an upstream bug, but it probably affects all Windows users, so it might be worth mentioning in the README.
