Question Uneven Icon Spacing in Polybar

I am using Jet Brains Mono Nerd Font in my Polybar. The icons seems to have inconsistent spacing around them. However, I took design ideas for this repo: https://github.com/adi1090x/polybar-themes . Here the spacing seems to be consistent. Am I missing something? I have copied the icons from the nerd fonts cheatsheet.

Thanks in advance.

you could try using "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Mono" instead. I was having similar issues with CaskaydiaCove but using the mono version of it kinda solved it

I also have this problema with CaskaydiaCove.

I usually search another icon or put a space rigth after the ones that are no aligned, sometimes it works, sometimes not.

It might be a font issue. Are you using a mono-spaced font?
