all-the-icons.el VS company-box

Thanks so much for your help, but I've already tried that :( I installed manually downloading it from https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el and used the fc-cache -f -v . For some reason the M-x all-the-icons-install-fonts not work for me, since it's not shown the all-the-icons-install-fonts after M-x and package-install

Isn't a "pile" just an "unorganized map"? Really, if you think of it: a pile of papers on a desk, could as well sitt in a folder. That should bring you back to normal desktop paradigm. Now implementing headings as "folders" shouldn't be overly difficult. You could implement a "pile" of headings as just subheadings to top headings and also render those top headings as either: svg icons, check for example svg-library by /u/Nicolas-Rougier, or you could use font-icons like in font-awesome or all-the-icons, to replace top-headings with an image or a font-icon. You would probably have to write your own minor-mode but it shouldn't be very difficult. You will probably need to use invisible-text property to hide headings and replace them with icons (that is normally how org and outline modes "fold" and "expand" content in headings), but that should not be very difficult.

In the org-mode buffer (upper part of pic): Iosevka Aile 15. In the minibuffer (lower part of pic): Iosevka 15. For the star icon: Font Awesome via all-the-icons.el.

I tried some of the troubleshooting steps on https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el but those instructions seem to address issues with individual icons. I can't see any icons.

I found what I believe is the fonts repo here but I'm not sure where to put the resources while this issue gets fixed. I see that it's a constant that reappears quite often.

You can also install it manually: https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el

In the meantime, you can get the missing definitions using this config: https://github.com/domtronn/all-the-icons.el/issues/220#issuecomment-750989401

Works perfectly fine and looks good to me. Additionally, I also have the all-the-icons fonts to support doom-modeline.

An advanced alternative to built-in tooltip and echo frontends is company-box. It displays candidates and docs for current candidate in popups.

For elisp it works out of the box and displays the first line of the helpbuffer in the echo area. If you add company-box or company-quickhelp you'll get the description text next to completion candidates.

You can either fix you font, or use another frontend that supports variable pitched fonts like company-box or company-posframe

Is this any different from company-box?
