Thanks for your report and trying so many versions. Can confirm this for the latest Konsole 25.07.70 from git-master like this: - On Arch, installed the `ttf-fantasque-nerd` package - Set Konsole current profile and Kate preferences to the Fantasque (or a Fira Code) - Compare the '=>' in both programs. In Kate it works, in Konsole doesn't.

Not sure if related to the same change, didn't bisect yet, but after '24.12.3', at least 'DejaVu Sans Mono 9pt' is quite broken when 'Smooth fonts' is disabled.

For the symbolism issue, I suspect it's due to commit 79c6838fd93 [1]. That is, try enabling 'Word mode' under Edit Profile / Appearance / Complext Text Layout if it is disabled. The issue I described seems to start with commit be76d4a2480 [2]. 1. https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/commit/79c6838fd93107f0a9e85b89c9cc2fda2f1020d4 2. https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/commit/be76d4a2480fbf24e261cf3bf0f69a781100d534 (In reply to Chiitoo from comment #4) > For the symbolism issue, I suspect it's due to commit 79c6838fd93 [1]. > > That is, try enabling 'Word mode' under > > Edit Profile / Appearance / Complext Text Layout > > if it is disabled. Well, this fixed the NerdFont character issue for me. Why was word mode disabled by default on 79c6838f ? The commit message only mentions what word mode does. The merge request for the commit gives some background: https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/merge_requests/1044 Incidentally, it's also the one with the commit that makes non-smooth DejaVu Sans Mono worse for me, and I think disabling 'Word mode' is supposed to be used for that situation, then, but I think it still looks worse than before, but I'll need to compare things some more again. |
Created attachment 181007 [details] Screenshot of both konsole and kate. Kate shows "-->" correctly while konsole doesn't. SUMMARY Multi character symbols such "<=" or "!=" should be a single smaller-equal than and a not-equals symbol respectively instead of just the characters that make them up. I tested previous konsole versions on Arch using downgrade and found 24.12.3 to be the last version that renders those symbols correctly. Single character symbols like the vim icon or the firefox () icon do work. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Upgrade from 24.12.3 2. type multi-character symbol such as "<=", "<-->", "!=" OBSERVED RESULT Custom multi-character nerd-font symbols do not show up EXPECTED RESULT Custom multi-character nerd-font symbols should show up SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 Kernel Version: 6.14.5-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is an issue specific to konsole. Other qt-6 programs like kate function correctly.
