Unicode-only icons for the visual fingerprint

[KaKi87]

Hello,

Out of the 46 icons used by the visual fingerprint,

18 are part of Unicode :

• heart
• hotel
• ambulance
• bus
• rocket
• ship
• truck
• bed
• beer
• bell
• bomb
• briefcase
• bug
• camera
• coffee
• cloud
• coffee
• eye

28 are not :

• hashtag
• university
• plug
• car
• plane
• subway
• jpy
• eur
• btc
• usd
• gbp
• archive
• area-chart
• binoculars
• birthday-cake
• cart-plus
• certificate
• comment
• cube
• cutlery
• database
• diamond
• exclamation-circle
• flag
• flask
• futbol-o
• gamepad
• graduation-cap

It would be nice to replace the latter with Unicode ones so that the visual fingerprint could be used in CLI apps like it can be used in GUI apps.

Thanks

Icons are already supported on the CLI,

Related: tests file, MR #402

But it might not supported on all Terminal/shell applications. For instance, I don't have it on Guake+Tmux+Fish but have it in GNOME Terminal.

Also check that LESSPASS_MASTER_PASSWORD otherwise it won't prompt you the master password, so no icons.

We should improve the wiki page Visual Fingerprint to add configuration known to work for the CLI

Well, yes indeed, because Font Awesome icons that don't exist in Unicode (e.g. : fa-database) were replaced by other Unicode icons (e.g. : computer) :

Therefore, my suggestion still stands, but more specifically, it now consists in : using in GUI the same icons that are used in CLI (e.g. : fa-computer instead of fa-database).

Thanks
