** Common
|
||
|
|
*** Which version of Spacemacs am I running ?
|
||
|
|
The version is displayed on the upper right corner of the loading screen.
|
||
|
|
You may also just type ~SPC f e v~.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*** What is the official pronunciation of Spacemacs ?
|
||
|
|
As it is written, that is _space_ then _macs_.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*** Why are packages installed with =package-install= automatically deleted by Spacemacs when it boots ?
|
||
|
|
To declare new packages you have to create a new configuration layer, see
|
||
|
|
the [[file:QUICK_START.org][quick start guide]].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*** The Spacemacs banner is ugly, what should I do ?
|
||
|
|
Install the default font supported by Spacemacs or choose a fixed width font.
|
||
|
|
More information in the font section of the [[file:DOCUMENTATION.org][documentation]].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*** The powerline separators are ugly, how can I fix them ?
|
||
|
|
Use the property =:powerline-scale= of the variable
|
||
|
|
=dotspacemacs-default-font=. See font section of the [[file:DOCUMENTATION.org][documentation]] for more details.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*** The powerline separators have no anti-aliasing, what can I do ?
|
||
|
|
Emacs powerline uses XMP images to draw the separators in a graphical
|
||
|
|
environment. You can have anti-aliasing if you use the =utf8= separator.
|
||
|
|
Note that by default the =utf8= separator is used in a terminal.
|
||
|
|
See the powerline section in the font section of the [[file:DOCUMENTATION.org][documentation]].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*** Why is after-init-hook not executed ?
|
||
|
|
Don't launch Spacemacs with =emacs -q -l init.el= command. This command will
|
||
|
|
run the hooked function in =after-init-hook= before the evaluation of the
|
||
|
|
passed =-l init.el= file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
** Windows
|
||
|
|
*** Why do the fonts look crappy on Windows ?
|
||
|
|
You can install [[https://code.google.com/p/mactype/][MacType]] on Windows to get very nice looking fonts. It is
|
||
|
|
also recommended to disable smooth scrolling on Windows.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*** Why is there no Spacemacs logo in the startup buffer ?
|
||
|
|
A GUI build of emacs supporting image display is required.
|
||
|
|
You can follow the instructions [[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2650041/emacs-under-windows-and-png-files][here]]. Alternatively you can download binaries
|
||
|
|
of emacs with image support included such as [[http://emacsbinw64.sourceforge.net/][this one]].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
** OS X
|
||
|
|
*** Why are the powerline colors not correct on OS X ?
|
||
|
|
This is a [[https://github.com/milkypostman/powerline/issues/54][known issue]] as of Emacs 24.4 due to =ns-use-srgb-colorspace=
|
||
|
|
defaulting to true. It is recommended to use the [[github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport][emacs-mac-port]] build.
|
||
|
|
See the install section in the [[file:../README.md][README]] for more details.
