doom-modeline now uses nerdfonts

[andresilva]

I confirm that...

• I have searched the issue tracker, documentation, FAQ, Discourse, and Google, in case this issue has already been reported/resolved.

• I have read "How to Debug Issues", and will use it to provide as much information about this issue as possible.

• The issue can be reproduced on the latest available commit of Doom.

• The issue can be reproduced on a stable release of Emacs, such as 27 or 28. (Doom does not support development builds like 29+ or any version ending in .50 or .9x)

Expected behavior

After installing doomemacs I should have working icons on the modeline.

Current behavior

Icons are currently not working since doom-modeline has migrated to use nerdfonts instead of all-the-icons font with the latest release (seagle0128/doom-modeline#622). The installer should probably prompt for installing this font now instead of all-the-icons (although I'm not sure if that's still used by doomemacs itself).

Meanwhile, how can I fix this manually?

EDIT: nerd-icons-install-fonts

[hvzzzz]

I have disabled all-the-icons package and the icons in doom-modeline have returned to normal.
Just add
(package! all-the-icons :disable t)
To your packages.el file

I think this is the commit that introduced those changes 7a5f5d0

For me I had mixed results and just decided to git checkout to a commit prior to the UI bump changes. Hope this helps others.

Thanks for the information. It should be written somewhere.

I think doom still uses all-the-icons in many other packages including doom-ui and doom-dashboard
disabling all-the-icons caused dependency bugs in the above packages to me.
I am not exactly sure why I have to disable it for doom-modeline to work again even though I already have nerdfonts installed

To get it working properly, I pinned doom-modeline just before nerdfonts was introduced.

packages.el

(package! doom-modeline :pin "918730eff72e")

I also had this problem after upgrading Doom.

I noticed I had set a custom font in my config.el and commented out that line:

;; (set-face-attribute 'mode-line nil :font "Mononoki Nerd Font")

Now the modeline icons and all other icons (e.g. in dired) look normal. I do have both all-the-icons and nerd-icons installed.

Have you followed the steps probably?
I think it's needless to say you need to perform doom upgrade and restart emacs after the above changes

Yes i did that. Still showing those errors.

I also figured it could probably be cause i was setting treemacs with all-the-icons, and i even disabled that. Still showing the errors.

Now i reinstalled Doom Emacs with the default config and did that and got this error:

I think you disabled all-the-icons and it's not installed anymore, if you implemented other workarounds that ignore all-the-icons then delete them
