support gnome terminal about vim-devicons HOT 10 CLOSED

@calidion thank you for this because this does in fact look like an issue with the fonts. I have tried gnome-terminal on my system and I cannot see any of the patched fonts to show up in the preferences.

Making this work across more terminals is probably going to be the next big thing I try to fix.

For reference what I did try but did not work for me:
fc-list | grep "Nerd File Types"

from vim-devicons.

@calidion I am not sure I know what you are asking. How to use this in non-GUI Vim and in the terminal?

from vim-devicons.

yes.

from vim-devicons.

vim-airline works with terminal or shell environment.

@calidion which terminal do you use? konsole? rxvt? gnome? xfce? other?

And did you set the font to one of the patched fonts for your terminal?

from vim-devicons.

gnome, but the font will not show in the term's font list.

from vim-devicons.

I am assuming you installed one of the fonts, per: https://github.com/ryanoasis/vim-webdevicons#font-installation ?
