What is going to happen to the obsolete icons? Are they going to be removed in newer nerdfonts? The replacement icons suggested are actually smaller in size and don't look as good as the bigger and clearer icons currently being used.

What is going to happen to the obsolete icons? Are they going to be removed in newer nerdfonts?

Seems like they're likely to be removed soon (I've got a couple of other "obsolete" nerd fonts broken after a recent patched font update).

Yeah I ran into that when trying to replace the set myself. Hence, I was wondering if you had any other suggestions.

That is unfortunate.

I also have no idea what could be done. It is unfortunate that the replacement icons are so tiny. We can add a section about these newer icons in the readme for now, and continue using the better icons as default for most people who don't have issues. Also lets see what other plugins are doing and follow their foots steps, of the top of my head I can think of nvim-compe and nvim-tree also being affected by this issue.

So I've manually replaced my icon set in the meantime, but for those looking for a fuller list of icons that popular tools are using, feel free to use mine - I updated it recently to utilize the 3.0.0 release: https://github.com/XenoPhex/nvim/blob/42192ef0c637c3ae6e274df4b7b2df633577a72c/lua/utils/icons.lua#L43-L160

I know lspkind used nerdfix suggestions. onsails/lspkind.nvim#64

I used nerdfix myself last night on my configurations and it was helpful!
