Spacevim: What is this question mark?

[caoer]

A picture worth a million words.. see screen above. What is this question mark? I've tried to changed dozens of fonts but it still exists. Mono, Powerline, standarnd fonts they all have it... no clue.. 😢

[icearith]

@caoer this is the file icon, just pull the latest commits or run the update command to update the SpaceVim

[caoer]

@icearith hi, I did using the latest dev branch, not being able to see it. But since I know it is file type icon, going to disable it. 😄

[icearith]

@caoer I just suffered from this issue. please refer to #586

[caoer]

@wsdjeg My environment is
NeoVim
iTerm2
Tmux

I installed noto-fonts, noto-fonts-cjk, not-fonts-emoji

After that, I change the font for non-ascii character to noto mono for powerline, it still didn't work. So I am gonna try the fonts you listed below.

By the way , I find an interesting plugin: https://github.com/ryanoasis/vim-devicons which seems like what you want.

[wsdjeg]

hmm. Maybe it is the font you need. you can read the plugin'S readme.

Dear @wsdjeg & @caoer

After several attempts, I got a simple solution.

1. Clone this repository: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts

git clone [email protected]:ryanoasis/nerd-fonts.git

1. Install a patched font

cd nerd-fonts

# This command will install all the patched fonts
./install 

or 

# Install a specific font , this command will install patched Meslo font, with Powerline and DevIcons
./install Meslo

1. After that, either set the GUI font in the Vim config or set the font for Non-Ascii character in iTerm2

2. Done

Here is a screenshot

@icearith great!!!!

but as I can see in your picture, you nvim is not using true colors, you should use tmux 2.0 and run tmux via tmux -2.

[icearith]

@wsdjeg I am also confused by this issue, because I have last Tmux 2.5 installed. The color scheme seems different from the screenshot in SpaceVim's document.

I tested my true color setting, because to be honest, I don't know what True color is. the result is:

echo $TERM

The value is xterm-256color

Given the above facts, could you please help me distinguish what's wrong with my environment.

[wsdjeg]

see https://github.com/Gabirel/Hack-SpaceVim/issues/7

@icearith 24 bit color is awesome!
try to run this: https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2/blob/master/tests/24-bit-color.sh
see if you can get a very smooth color line.
true color has 24bit colors instead of 256.

Also checkout following post for setup. What's your $TERM inside tmux and outside of tmux?
and make sure tmux info return Tc flag as ture.

 tmux info | grep Tc
197: Tc: (flag) true

I've spent hours and hours on this issue. And the last found makes me cry. It was accidentally put tmux-254color instead of tmux-256color. So, be careful.
