It seems to happen with every nerd font from https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads |
In my environment this happens with any font and in any application. |

That it is working on my machine? Yes?! Lets see, the codepoints are this:

FreeSerif
TeX Gyre Schola Math
DejaVu Serif,DejaVu Serif Condensed
TeX Gyre Bonum Math
TeX Gyre DejaVu Math
FreeSans
DejaVu Serif
FreeMonoI have no clue which one is used, but the one randomly chosen seems good on my machine :-D Anyhow that "bold codepoints" are not part of Nerd Fonts patching and not (at lost not many) of the to-be-patched fonts. |
