I then tried using the new font in xterm, and it works to a degree. Since the different fonts probably have different widths, there are some quirks with the icons being wider than the base font at times. But anyway, it is possible to get all-the-icons in an xterm emacs, but if one wants it to look nice, one needs to spend a bit of time. > > > /Joakim > > Emanuel Berg writes: > >> tomas wrote: >> >>>>> I still don't get the "shame" thing, > >>>>> though... >>>> >>>> OK, FTR there is *no shame whatsoever* not >>>> knowing what "font fallback" is. >>> >>> OK >> >> The OP has been awfully silent since his OP. >> Next time, perhaps we should keep in mind that >> we have guests? -- Joakim Verona joakim@verona.se +46705459454
