Icons have wrong name

[Luis-Henriquez-Perez]

I have the icons installed but for some reason they are named incorrectly.
For example after checking the icons and their respective names you can see pretty much all of them don't correspond to the right icon.

I've evaluated (insert (all-the-icons-octicon "file-directory" :v-adjust all-the-icons-dired-v-adjust :face 'all-the-icons-dired-dir-face)) in scratch buffer and got lighting symbol instead of folder. See details in jtbm37/all-the-icons-dired#13.

Something wrong happened since I've upgraded to 20180125.757 version. Strangely, dired icons broke, but neotree looks as it should.

Advise how to debug issue.

I disabled font-lock M-x global-font-lock-mode RET, refreshed dired buffer and all icons got proper glyphs!

@md1023 Thanks, it works for me too.

[Luis-Henriquez-Perez]

For me when I disable the font lock and then refresh the dired buffer the icons all become folders. I don't think this is completely right as I recall when the icons were the right images, some folders (like the download folder) was different.
Also for me this doesn't last. After the font lock and refresh when I exit dired and return to dired, the icons are wrong again.

My solution is temporary, I put a hook:

(defun simno-dired-mode-setup ()
  "show less information in dired buffers"
  (dired-hide-details-mode 1)
  (local-set-key (kbd "TAB") 'dired-subtree-cycle)
  (font-lock-mode 0)
)

(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'simno-dired-mode-setup)

Looking forward to new versions. Some folks don't have problems on Emacs 26, we'll see.

See #105 for more info and a proposed fix in #106

This works. However I will note that I needed to manually replace the functions added with font-lock+ using overriding advice. I don't mind this because I think it's better practice to override using advising than to overwrite it by defining a function with the same name. Since the code of font-lock+ is pretty short I just copied over the functions to my config and appended a '+' to them so that they can be distinguished from the original.

For example:
;; override original with new
(advice-add 'font-lock-default-unfontify-region :override #'+font-lock-default-unfontify-region)

This issue still exists with GNU Emacs 25 on Ubuntu 18.04..

Same issue here, what's exactly the fix? to install font-lock+.el? to manually edit all-the-icons.el?

[uKLEina]

I had the same problem.

I use el-get.el to install all-the-icons.el and it requires font-lock+.el in its recipe, so I already had font-lock+.el itself.

However, it seems all-the-icons.el doesn't load font-lock+.el in it, so just add
(require 'font-lock+)
in the .emacs and that solves the problem for me, i.e. shows icons correctly and font-lock is still enabled on the other characters.

Edit: My environment is Emacs 26.1 on Debian Buster, built by myself from source, configure options are all default.

I send PR jtbm37/all-the-icons-dired#21 to fix this issue of all-the-icons-dired.
