How do I get rid of these vertical lines before the triangles?

3 years ago by tubbadu to c/linux

Hello! I have changed my PROMPT variable for bash and zsh in the following:

TRIANGLE=$'\uE0B0'
COLOR_1="#089B89"
COLOR_2="#FCFCFC"
COLOR_3="#3B4045"
PROMPT="%K{$COLOR_1} %n@%M%F{$COLOR_1}%K{$COLOR_2}$TRIANGLE%F{$COLOR_1} %~%F{$COLOR_2}%K{$COLOR_3}$TRIANGLE%f%k " #%K{#1BA58A}%F{black}$TRIANGLE

and I'm using the Noto Sans Mono fonts, but this happens on other fonts as well.

How can I get rid of the white lines before the triangle? should I use a specific font?

They happen because the font is not patched property, your best bet is getting the nerd fonts and trying those, popular fonts will generally look nicer.

I installed FiraCode Nerd Fonts, FiraMono Nerd Fonts and Hack Nerd Fonts from here, and only FiraMono was able to not display that vertical line. I suspect the line is caused by the "Smooth fonts" setting in the profile settings > appearance, because unsetting it hides the line in other fonts (but the fonts looks terrible). thanks for the help!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
