Any thoughts as to why this is not working?

I'm having the same issue on Mac on linux works fine

[AntonRatnick]

I'm having the same issue on Mac

[pdoak]

I've solved the problem. It was a problem with the font.

[ryanoasis]

Thanks for the update @pdoak

@ArtStepanyuk and @AntonRatnick can you tell me which fonts you are using and if you still have the issue?

[AntonRatnick]

I use ITerm2 on my mac. Problem solved.
I just set in iterm preferences right ASCII font.

[ryanoasis]

Thanks for the updates. I'm considering this closed for now

@AntonRatnick Tell me how you solved the problem, I have Mac, iTerm2 and NeoVim

1. Step:

brew tap caskroom/fonts
brew cask install font-hack-nerd-font

1. Step: Config in .vimrc

set encoding=utf8
let g:airline_powerline_fonts = 1

1. Step:

@gHashTag Hey it looks like you are not using a Nerd Font. That is required for vimdevicons to work "out of the box". It looks to me like you are only using a Powerline font

[gHashTag]

@ryanoasis Thanks for the quick response. Does not this command put a font?

brew tap caskroom/fonts
brew cask install font-hack-nerd-font

How to solve this problem?

[ryanoasis]

@gHashTag Hey sorry I did miss that part of your comment, however from your last screen shot the hack nerd font you downloaded with brew cask is not selected as your font. Is it available to be selected in the 'change font' ?

[gHashTag]

@ryanoasis It is he?

[gHashTag]

@ryanoasis have ideas how to solve the error?

[gHashTag]

Thanks. Everything is working. It was necessary to choose this font in iTerm2:

Hi @ryanoasis, I've this same problem right now. I already installed the NerdFont using Brew, but it seems I can't find any fonts that related to Nerd in my iTerm preferences. Am I missing something in here?

[wndisra]

Never mind, I found it. Thanks @ryanoasis

[kitaev-chen]

@ryanoasis Thanks for the quick response. Does not this command put a font?

brew tap caskroom/fonts
brew cask install font-hack-nerd-font

How to solve this problem?

I'm using mac to connect remote linux, it doesn't work after I installed fonts on remote linux, but after installed fonts on mac and do:
fc-cache -f -v
then choose hack-nerd-font, it finally works!

@ryanoasis man you are crazily awesome!!!!! Thanks your input, it helped me to get what I wanted.

Hi, I want to know does this plugin only support font that patched glyphs?
It seems like this plugin will not work when I was not using nerd font.

@ryanoasis Sorry for disturbing, but I really want to know the answer. 🤕️
