How to install unicode Font in Gentoo?(Solved)

[saito]

Gentoo Colleagues,

I have just build a joshuto file manager in my Gentoo workstation while I found some unicode invoked by joshuto not rendered correctly, like the file-icon. I have installed efont-unicode already. How can I let the fonts load and rendered correctly. I have tryied

A generic approach if we don't know which font supports this or that character:

https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/e5ff/fontsupport.htm

As we can see, different fonts show different glyphs.

If you know which font, and it is not in portage, ttf file can be installed in home directory:
Obtain a proper ttf file, copy the file into ~/.fonts directory, run fc-cache -fv without sudo, restart your application.

Did you enable the font using eselect fontconfig?

Thanks Gentoo Colleagues,

I have fixed this issue with a proper font named by "nerdfonts" from https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads for `joshuto` a ranger alternative written with rust.

Thanks from saito
