Doom-emacs: Font Awesome symbols way to large big

[asamwow]

Observed behavior

Symbols from font awesome are about 4x bigger than they should be. For example, the save icon when you edit a file or the power icon next to recently opened files are enormous, 4x bigger than other icons which seem to work fine.

Expected behavior

Normal sized icons.

Steps to reproduce

1. sudo pacman -S ttf-font-awesome
2. open emacs

The fonts must be installed via M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts. This is a known incompatibility with what ttf-font-awesome provides. I'm unaware of any workaround besides that, sorry to say.

[clawoflight]

That does indeed solve it, thanks!
I still have a lot of missing icons though, any idea how to solve that?

724 you need to install manually @clawoflight

Hmm I got same problem. I'm using wayland and sway so for some reason M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts don't work right. But installed with yay (some was straight from pacman) yay -S ttf-all-the-icons ttf-atom-file-icons ttf-font-icons ttf-material-design-icons and now seems to work all icons in emacs. I try to check why M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts don't work right.

[hlissner]

I wasn't aware a ttf-all-the-icons package existed. That sounds like a good alternative to all-the-icons-install-fonts for Arch users who have this issue.

[Amatrelan]

Yeah ttf-all-the-icons had most of them but for example modeline git check mark on right corner isn't in that package so I installed ttf-materlian-design-icons and it works too right.

[Amatrelan]

Hey further notice about this.

Used that M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts and found out it downloaded them, but with 0 byte size. @hlissner is that function made by you? Or some external?

[Amatrelan]

Ah found, All-the-icons seems to be that is quite dead. There was a lot problems with fonts.

[hlissner]

@Amatrelan all-the-icons-install-fonts is provided by the all-the-icons package.

Judging from this thread, a new maintainer was recently brought on board so it might not be dead yet. Perhaps this issue should be reported there.

That said, these sound like these could be network issues. Perhaps all all-the-icons-install-fonts needs is better error checks.

[hlissner]

all-the-icons-install-fonts was fixed a little while ago, so I'll consider this issue resolved. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
