I installed neovim from github , i specifically have the 0.7 version ,and then i clonned the nvchad repository https://github.com/NvChad/NvChad in ~/.config/nvim as stated in the installation tutorial , after that I used this comand:

nvim -c "autocmd User PackerComplete quitall" -c "PackerSync"

which seemed to install the required packages and then i typed nvim into my terminal and this was the result enter image description here have i done something wrong? or should i do something else? thanks in advance for your time

  • It looks like that you don't have a font which can display your icons correctly. You need to install them as well! I suppose that you're using a linux distribution. Just google which package you need and install it! – TornaxO7 May 11 '22 at 17:22

This is because the font you are using doesn't provide those icons.
Find Nerd-Fonts patched version of your favorite font, install it, and set it as your terminal font.

Besides installing Nerd fonts, you will likely have to change the font in the terminal settings.

In case you use Iterm. Go to the Iterm settings -> Profiles -> Text. Here you can find Font select, choose "Hack Nerd Font".

Iterm2 settings, choose font

    you're a lifesaver. I wouldn't have guessed those steps for iterm otherwise. thanks! – imfromthefuture May 29 '23 at 22:57
  • also, nerd fonts do not work equally well. for example, i was using inconsolata-go-nerd-ont, which is missing some icons. hack-nerd-font works well, so if you're having issues as I was, maybe just use 'hack' for now and keep moving. best wishes, community – imfromthefuture May 29 '23 at 22:59

    Nice! It works fine, but you have to install `font-hack-nerd-font` from `homebrew/cask-fonts`. Check this [ref here](https://www.geekbits.io/how-to-install-nerd-fonts-on-mac/) – Marco Antônio Jun 14 '23 at 18:11

You need NerdFonts - patched fonts that can display glyphs.

Download them from this link

if you have the same issue after installing the Nerd fonts, go to your terminal preference and change to a custom font.

I was facing the same issue and finally, I resolved it by installing the Symbols Nerd font.

  1. Download the font from here Symbols Nerd font
  2. Extract it and install click on the .ttf file to install it.
  3. Restart your terminal once and select any JetBrains fonts in the terminal.
