Crash of iterm with the source code pro, both normal and mono

[hanoii]

I can't seem to make this work, every time I change the iterm settings to use this font iTerm simply starts loading forever. I have to force quit it, and on load it happens again.

The only way to restore it to normal is deleting the settings:

defaults delete com.googlecode.iterm2

🔧 Your Setup

OSX 10.13.4
iTerm2 3.1.5
brew cask install brew cask install font-sourcecodepro-nerd-font
and
brew cask install font-sourcecodepro-nerd-font-mono

Both does the same.

It works with the Hack one for instance.

Thanks for the report. Does sourcecodepro (unpatched) work just fine for you? I assume so..

[snachx]

Same here, and the unpatched version works fine.

[pitkling]

Same problem here. Note that the font does work in other environments (e.g., Vimr).

I know this is not helping but i came here to report the same issue, as soon as i select the source code pro font my iterm hangs forever.

To unstuck iterm open up the normal mac terminal and remove the font. In case you obtained the font via brew: brew cask uninstall font-sourcecodepro-nerd-font will do the job.

@snachx @pitkling Thanks for chiming in, I actually appreciate it.

@omares Thanks to you as well for the report and the tip. No worries there is certainly a problem.

Appreciate the patience overall 😄

I'm wondering if it's something more generic with the nerd fonts. I'm having the exact same problem (iTerm2 hanging) with Blex Mono. I'd open my own issue, but it seems a duplicate of this one.

[vheon]

I've encountered this as well. Is there any way I can provide more data?

Hey folks, I had the same issue. I noticed in Font Book that the font had multiple versions. I clicked the "resolve automatically" button and then was able to switch to the font in iTerm2.

I usually prefer having these settings scripted so that it is documented and can be automated in case of moving to a new computer, so here it is:

I noticed in Font Book that the font had multiple versions.

These will all be fixed with v3.0.0 with the new naming engine.

Release is in repo, release as packages pending.
