Interesting - for it to be a difference between gnome-terminal and xterm, you run a terminal Emacs, right? As in -nw ? Only if you do, how can there be an *icon* issue? Answer: In order for the icons to work it is very important that you install the Resource Fonts included in this package, they are available in the fonts directory. [1] BTW gnome-terminal is actually supposed to emulate xterm [2], only it is slower and not as good :) [1] https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Terminal -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
