I am currently running emacs on Gentoo linux. My intention was to use all-the-icons ivy (I also downloaded all-the-icons-ivy). Unfortunately, all the icons come out confusing.
I have already run all-the-icons-install-fonts, per the wiki instructions. Does anyone know what is happening?

  • Are you running Emacs using its GUI or via a terminal emulator? Did you also follow the instructions which say to run `fc-cache -f -v`? – binki Feb 07 '21 at 21:52
  • I have tried it in the 2 ways but it does not work and of course I have executed that command but everything remains the same –  Feb 07 '21 at 23:07

You may lack the fonts for all-the-icons.

The all-the-icons documentation recommends installing the fonts by running this command in Emacs: M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts.

Alternatively, you can try installing the fonts using the package manager for your OS. For Gentoo, there's a package for all-the-icons here.

I ran into a similar issue on an Arch based distro, and was able to resolve it by installing all-the-iconts. For those using Arch based distros, the package can be found here.
