Wrong codepoints for Font-Awesome beginning on f00f in table

[dritter]

Hi there!

When I use "Sauce Code Powerline Plus Nerd File Types Mono Plus Font Awesome Plus Octicons" the codepoints starting from f00f are off by one.
Example: The codepoint for home-icon on the table is f015. This should be the correct one, but if I do an echo "\uF015" it shows the wrong symbol. In the patched version the home-symbol has the codepoint F014. This is the case for all subsequent glyphs (seems to get worse with ongoing icons).

Hey thanks for this info. I will look into it.

I was taking a break but now wanting to work on projects again here and there.

On this one I am reorganizing the patched folders to make fonts easier to find and then I want to merge in the 2 open PRs (hack font, fixes, and script refactoring)

@ryanoasis thank you for the awesome work. This fix would be greatly appreciated :)

[ryanoasis]

@CestDiego Thanks it is appreciated.

@dritter You are 100% correct

@dritter , @CestDiego
Ah I see what is going on here. I define the start and end range but quite a few of the glyphs in that range in font awesome are empty (e.g. f010 zoom_out [fa-search-minus]). So that point on its off by one and then each time another empty glyph is encountered its off-by-1++ 😊

I will get to this after a bit of re-organization of the folders and merging in the 2 PRs 😅

@ryanoasis no problem...I'm developing a package similar to fontawesome.el for emacs in which one can easily add the unicode symbols with autocompletion backends :) looks like this:

I am doing everything by hand because I have too much time in my hands..but I would appreciate it if there was some kind of json file that I could parse to get a name of the unicode symbol and it's hex numerical value for each of the glyphs included in the patched fonts :P

[ryanoasis]

@CestDiego Ah I see. That looks very cool and useful! I can see that being very helpful especially if you are using font awesome heavily in a project.

I would have made a plugin for emacs similar to my vim plugin (vim-devicons) but I am a Vim guy 😆 and I don't even know where to begin

If you need anything to make the font easier to use let me know (I see you already have one issue (#32) you opened 😅 )

[CestDiego]

@ryanoasis well yeah #32 is to make it easier to me to make Nix Expressions for NixOS packages :P but it would also be nice to download only the font one wants. Btw it's not really intuitive from file names which ones have which glyphs..have you considered having a webpage that let's users select which font they want with which variations? it would be so useful...I don't have the time now but in one month maybe I could help with that.

[ryanoasis]

@CestDiego I might ask you on #32 for more info on that subject. 😊

Yeah thats one problem right now with the directory structure. I was creating more subfolders for each family style but maybe I need subfolders for each glyphset variation because the names are very long

Website and interaction to let users pick is a very cool idea! I like it. 👍

The way I feel about this project right now is that there are a lot of little issues and a few big ones. I would love to get most of those ironed out and if this project starts to become more heavily used before creating a website. If/when those things happen then yeah definitely! 😄

[CestDiego]

awesome :) I look forward to the merging of the Hack Font PR :P btw, how to know if I'm downloading powerline-extras with the name of fonts? it looks like the font I downloaded doesn't have it. Also regarding Octicons seem to have the same shift as font awesome... and I think there is some overlapping :(

[ryanoasis]

@CestDiego 'powerline-extras' is currently missing 😞 (see #30)

Yeah it looks like it will have the same off-by-* issue as font-awesome. Fix should be the same.

For Octicons I decided to put it in a different range because font-awesome starts at the same unicode but I think what I should do is if you choose Octicons without font-awesome THEN it could start it its original place. Obviously at some point there is a limitation into which glyphs can be included and some needing to be moved when you want to include a bunch into one font 😟

[CestDiego]

So is Octicons kinda like >> fontawesome? it looks like github supports it natively...

[ryanoasis]

Yes similar in some ways. Yep it is the one used on GitHub 😄
