Hello! I noticed that konsole has problems rendering nerd fonts, while other terminals (I tried xfce4-terminal as referemce) works flawlessly.
as you can see, in konsole the triangle symbol has a tiny vertical line before. the font used is NotoMono Nerd Font 12, but other fonts and sizes have the same effect. Any idea on how to solve this? I found no bug of this kind on the web, only problems of not rendering at all these symbols. Should I open a bug report?
EDIT:
I switched from Fedora to EndeavourOS today (not for this reason) and here it works perfectly with any font. I guess I messed something in the fedora configuration. thanks to everyone for the help!
I vaguely remember having a similar issue with a different terminal emulator. As I recall the keyword to search for is alignment. I think what’s happening is that the symbol border falls inside a pixel instead of on the border between pixels. This results in font smoothing taking effect, which produces that off-color line.
thanks for the answer! the only settings about alignment I found in konsole are under edit profile > appearance > miscellaneous > align to center, but it does not seem to do anything to the fonts
You can try and play with the font smoothing. Maybe disabling sub-pixel smoothing doves this particular issue. It would produce others, though. Or maybe it’s enough to increase the margin.
Try changing your font size.
I installed a few nerd fonts yesterday. The first one looked just a bit weird in Konsole, the second one looked fine
