gnus icons

[cyurek]

Does anyone have any problems with the following:
gnus isn't showing icons instead it shows a square with a number
inside like e154. I have installed all-the-icons-gnus.
I'm running emacs 29.3 gnus 5.13 and
have install alot other icons so all my other icons show in dired,
consult, everywhere. this is the command I run in .emacs
(require'all-the-icons-gnus)  (all-the-icons-gnus-setup)

Sounds like what happens when you are missing a font with unicode
emoji/glyphs.

Try installing the "Noto Color Emoji" and "Symbola" fonts (Debian
packages: fonts-noto-color-emoji and fonts-symbola).

I have these lines in my .emacs, I am not sure if they are still
relevant:

    (set-fontset-font t 'symbol "Noto Color Emoji" nil 'append)
    (set-fontset-font t 'symbol "Symbola" nil 'append)


  Best of luck,

    Adam

:-/ If you put your cursor of one of those hex-characters that were
supposed to be an icon/emoji and go M-x describe-char, what do you
get?

Eg if I do that on: 😎 I get:

               position: 865 of 1554 (56%), restriction: <164-1555>, column: 20
              character: 😎 (displayed as 😎) (codepoint 128526, #o373016, #x1f60e)
                charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
  code point in charset: 0x1F60E
                 script: emoji
                 syntax: w 	which means: word
               category: .:Base
               to input: type "C-x 8 RET 1f60e" or "C-x 8 RET SMILING FACE WITH SUNGLASSES"
            buffer code: #xF0 #x9F #x98 #x8E
              file code: #xF0 #x9F #x98 #x8E (encoded by coding system utf-8-emacs)
                display: by this font (glyph code):
      ftcrhb:-GOOG-Noto Color Emoji-regular-normal-normal-*-33-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x381)

  Character code properties: customize what to show
    name: SMILING FACE WITH SUNGLASSES
    general-category: So (Symbol, Other)
    decomposition: (128526) ('😎')

  There are text properties here:
    fontified            t

which shows what font was used for the smiley, which might give a clue
to what is happening.

I would guess that means that the font is missing on your computer :-)

Do you have the Noto Color Emoji font installed?

What version of Emacs are you running?

The codepoint U+E158 is in the Unicode Private Use area, so
practically all bets are off, and Noto Color Emoji wonʼt have coverage
for it.

Having said that, here it displays with

    ftcrhb:-RSMS-Inter Display-regular-normal-normal-*-18-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1 (#x771)

Ah, good point. I guess the package is more specialized, and your
clue:

is one to explore for chuck.

Maybe a stupid question, but did you do the step "Installing Fonts" in
the all-the-icons.el README?
