On https://github.com/denysdovhan/spaceship-prompt/blob/master/docs/Troubleshooting.md#why-doesnt-my-prompt-look-like-the-preview, ~ has the same width as ➜ which looks amazing.

I am using iTerm2 and have installed the Fira Code font.

Ok, found what’s going on... SPACESHIP_CHAR_SYMBOL is set to ➜ (Heavy Round-Tipped Rightwards Arrow, unicode U+279C) by default vs → (Rightwards Arrow, unicode U+2192) which has the right width. PR in the making.

mine too! I can manage to fix this issue with changing font for non-ASCII text (you can set this in the iTerm preferences under Profiles > Text) and set Menlo as non-ASCII font.

...and of course, also can set manually SPACESHIP_CHAR_SYMBOL to the correct symbol 😀
