🗹 Requirements

  • I have searched the issues for my issue and found nothing related and/or helpful
  • I have searched the FAQ for help
  • I have searched the Wiki for help

🎯 Subject of the issue

Experienced behavior:
The propo glyphs were just fine couple of versions ago, I am not sure which version broke it because I haven't updated in like 3 months but
now the glyph sizes are just all over the place
some of them are just less bold than before

Also the leaf looked better before but that's just my opinion, the globe too

Expected behavior:
It should be same as it was before

Example symbols:
The problematic ones are: , , , , 󰖁, , , 

🔧 Your Setup

  • Which font are you using (e.g. Anonymice Powerline Nerd Font Complete.ttf)?
    • Inconsolata Nerd Font Propo
  • Where did you get the file from (download link, self patched, source downloaded from link...)
  • Which terminal emulator are you using (e.g. iterm2, urxvt, gnome, konsole)?
    • kitty
  • Are you using OS X, Linux or Windows? And which specific version or distribution?
    • Arch Linux

Sorry to hear of your problems.

The icons listed as problematic are

F06C F1B6 F269 F011 F0581 F048 F051 F2C9
fa-leaf fa-steam fa-firefox fa-power_off md-volume_off fa-backward_step fa-forward_step fa-temperature_half
  • With the exception of 'volume off' all icons come from Font Awesome
  • When you use Nerd Font Propo the icon sizes are untouched by the patching
  • Any size differences come from upstream, i.e. from updating Font Awesome which has different sizes now

Lets have a look, leaf seems unchanged

Maybe firefox-browser is more what you like (a bit taller?)

Backward got just more squarish

Maybe use another taller set for 'backward', for example nf-md-skip_previous?

So updates in design always will look strange to some while others see the old icons as too-old-fashioned and out of place.

I'm not sure yet, but I guess this is a not-a-bug unless I can be convinced it is.
Labeling but keeping open.

[why]
The glyphs can look a bit small(er) when used unscaled, for example in a
Nerd Font Propo font. Note that some icons indeed got smaller, but in
general the generated font is a bit smaller than before.

Implemented a small (10%?) increase in size, but some icons are just smaller after the update, and we do not scale them generally (just as a whole).
