Glyphs not rendering

[samwdp]

I have changes the tags to rune glyphs.

The fonts I use in Emacs and for intsantwm is Noto Mono Nerd Font
I can verify this still happens when the font is default Fira Code Nerd Font.

Is this something that I have misconfigured or is this a problem with the window manager itself?

Did you try setting the font in your xresources file? The terminal font is an independent thing, afaik.

Example ~/.XResources:

instantwm.font: FiraCode:size=11

instantwm.bgcolor: #212337
instantwm.hovershadowcolor: #5c669b
instantwm.hoverbgcolor: #7a88cf

instantwm.minimize: #7a88cf
instantwm.darkminimize: #5c669b

instantwm.darkactivetag: #FF79Ce
instantwm.activetag: #FF92Da

instantwm.hoverfocus: #7a64a0
instantwm.darkhoverfocus: #6e5991

instantwm.darkfocus: #5c669b
instantwm.focus: #7a88cf

It might be hardcoded, though. See:

instantWM/config.def.h

Line 14 in 0362201

static const char *fonts[] = {"Cantarell-Regular:size=12", "Fira Code Nerd Font:size=12"};

instantWM/config.def.h

Line 17 in 0362201

static char xresourcesfont[30];

instantWM/config.def.h

Line 217 in 0362201

{ "font", STRING, &xresourcesfont },

How did you configure the WM? Using Xresources or the source code?

@con-f-use i have a font.config in .config/fontconfig set to use the various Noto Nerd Fonts then I am referencing the monospace:size=10 in the config.h file which the window manager picks up. I can try the XResources file through

@paperbenni I installed instantos yesterday, downloaded the src for instantwm and changed the tags to these and restarted the window manager

You might have to change the font to something that contains your needed symbols

according to fc-match the fonts I have used contains the unicode characters for these glyphs. I tried forcing Noto Serif Runic and still they are not rendered
