Set your terminal font to "MesloLGM Nerd Font Mono" - is it mandatory?

[refaelsh]

The readme says:

Set your terminal font to "MesloLGM Nerd Font Mono".

Is this mandatory for correct Norg functionality? I like my terminal with FiraCode Nerd Font Mono.

No, it's just a working option.

perhaps it should be changed to "a nerd font, e.g. ..."

I actually find this wording very confusing. I installed Meslo Nerd Font but task lists are not showing up correctly.
How do I 'set my terminal font'?

Is this a vim command? Do I set this in my init.lua?

You change the terminal's settings.

What terminal emulator do you use?

Thanks so much.

I installed MesloLG Nerd Font and Ubuntu Mono Nerd Font on the destination server machine, and I am SSH'd into that server, and inside a TMUX session. I assumed that is correct. I thought that I should set the font on the server side inside of NeoVim/Tmux or the Bash terminal, as opposed to my client machine that runs nothing more than iTerm2 or Termius, but maybe I'm wrong on that. I tried playing with the guitfont setting inside of neovim and setting that to Meslo with "set guifont=MesloLG.h10" but that had no effect.

I use two main terminals:

• Termius from my iPad to SSH into the server, and then I am inside a TMUX session.
• iTerm2 from my computer to SSH into the server, and then I am inside a TMUX session.

My Nvim version is 0.9.5

The task todo icons don't seem to be rendering properly. Any advice at all would be helpful, thanks!

Remote server configuration has nothing to do with font rendering. What matters is you iterm2/termux config (btw change the font in iterm config, you'll see all neovim and tmux appearance change right? terminal is just sending what text to render, and the client terminal emulator decides how to display those characters).

However, tmux does not have the capability of rendering unicode chars without the -u flag.

tmux kill-server and then relaunch tmux with tmux -u (attach the -u on every tmux command you type).
Be careful cuz tmux kill-server will kill your unsaved works.
