I came across another font now, which also cannot be rendered properly. The font provides extra glyphs for filetypes in Vim: https://github.com/ryanoasis/vim-webdevicons/tree/master/lib How does libvte and others handle this? Is there something the font does wrong? While looking into this the last time, I've seen that there are cases where URxvt can handle a font in a special way (for Japanese?!). How does this work and get triggered? Why can't this be applied here? For reference, I had provided a wrong link in the original message, where I've described a related problem in more detail. The link should have been: http://superuser.com/questions/828690/rendering-of-unicode-symbols-in-urxvt-height-width-vs-gnome-terminal Thanks, Daniel. _______________________________________________ rxvt-unicode mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schmorp.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rxvt-unicode
