urxvt, zsh agnoster font problem. symbols does not

Question

ON Fedora 31. All fonts properly installed. It works perfectly on gnome-shell but broken in i3-sensible-terminal ie urxvt

All symbols are broken

Since I am using i3 I want to stick to urxvt

The .Xdefaults is

URxvt.allow_bold: true
URxvt*font: xft:Monospace:pixelsize=14
URxvt*boldFont: xft:Monospace:bold:pixelsize=14
! Fix font space
URxvt*letterSpace: -1

Answer 1

Had the same problem on URxvt. Installing fonts from the below link fixed the problem for me.

https://github.com/powerline/fonts

Installed the fonts and tested with the below command

urxvt -fn 'xft:DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline-10'

My .Xresources:

URxvt.font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline-9
URxvt.boldFont: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline-9
URxvt.italicFont: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline-9
URxvt.boldItalicfont: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline-9
URxvt.letterSpace: 0

Answer 2

Monospace doesn't support Powerline font, you can add a second font that can handle the characters the first can't handle:

URxvt.font: xft:Monospace:pixelsize=14,xft:Inconsolata\ for\ Powerline:pixelsize=14

You can replace Inconsolata\ for\ Powerline by any powerline fonts you don't have that issue in gnome-shell you should have some installed
