Inverted version of the '\uE0B0' triangle

[trashner]

Would it be possible to add the inverted (i.e. negative) version of that symbol?

->

Reason is, in PowerShell you can only set the background color of a character to be transparent, not the foreground color.

Good suggestion, I'll try to make that happen! Thanks

Added that glyphs to Nerd Fonts (still a PR) as

• Add inverse powerline arrow heads nerd-fonts#1490

I need volunteer testers, please see that PR for details.

It doesn't feel like these are quite right (in the current nerdfont symbols font -- which I'm using as a fallback font)?

Thanks, will check!  Sent from Nine

Hmm, there is this BUG

• RHS powerline dividers in SymbolsOnly Regular nerd-fonts#1695

And then I see some height problem, there is a recent change here

• Increase Powerline overlap (big triangles and more) nerd-fonts#1724

but it seems to be not related.

Pink arrows show triangular is taller than inverse-triangular.
Green arrow shows gap between inverse-triangulars.

It could be that the 'regular' triange glyph is taken from one font while the inverted triangle glyph is taken from a different font, resulting in this strange behavior. There are also terminals that always (*) use their own (!) glyphs for the powerline symbols, and they will not know the inverse triangles yet.

I would suggest you wait for Nerd Fonts 3.3.0 and try that, and if the problem persists report an Issue over there.

Maybe use fc-list :charset=e0d7 to see which fonts all provide the glyph. You might need to add fontconfig rules to prefer one font over another in fallback, otherwise which font is chosen is random on a per-glyph basis.

Wait for 3.3.0 means ... I try to make it a Halloween-Release 🎃
