You need the Powerline version of the font you use for your terminal

I just installed Nerd Fonts but it prints a square in cmd.exe I also imported it
mtreit
mtreit•12mo ago
What font is your terminal set to use?
Deleted User 3t47rcvavy
Deleted User 3t47rcvavyOP•12mo ago
Lucido Console as default one but I got a program that imports a custom .ttf file
mtreit
mtreit•12mo ago
Yeah just installing nerdfonts isn't sufficient, you need to change the font the terminal is using. You can just double-click the ttf file to install it.

Are you using Windows Terminal?
Deleted User 3t47rcvavy
Deleted User 3t47rcvavyOP•12mo ago
cmd.exe...
mtreit
mtreit•12mo ago
So cmd.exe is the program, but the terminal shell it's hosted in can be either Windows Terminal or conhost.exe. Conhost is the old crappy one, and Windows Terminal is thee new really good one.
Deleted User 3t47rcvavy
Deleted User 3t47rcvavyOP•12mo ago
yes I know but IW ant it in cmd,exe
mtreit
mtreit•12mo ago
If you want conhost to work, you need to change your font to one that is a Powerline font. Like this.

But why anyone would use conhost is beyond me. It sucks

When I run cmd.exe it opens in Winodws Terminal because I set it to be the default host:

Anyway, you just need to choose the right font Like in my screenshot I'm choosing the one with PL in the name so I get the Powerline symbols
mtreit
mtreit•12mo ago
Like that little github branch symbol comes from the PL font

I like to make CLI apps for cmd.exe idk why

I mean, PowerShell is going to be the same experience but just superior in almost every way.

the code kinda looks cursed now why did I even use volatile there but basically, you call some weird windows API function to enable vt100 mode for the given console
