Can u run Fastfetch / Neofetch normaly without Anifetch?

[AmmarSyamil]

#84 this might fix it, just wait it get merged

[AmmarSyamil]

I think it is because theres something wierd about your system fetch output

[m6audereo]

fastfetch works by itself

[AmmarSyamil]

hmmm can u give me your fastfetch config

[AmmarSyamil]

yeah i think its because Python's subprocess.check_output function is stricker than fastfetch output. Thus flagging something that fastfetch ignoring.

Are you like using any wierd ahh or someghing advance in your fetch?

[AmmarSyamil]

But nevertheless, i think #84 should fix it

[m6audereo]

this is my config just in case

}

[AmmarSyamil]

hmm, it does work fine here. So maybe other stuff?

[AmmarSyamil]

i think you are on Arch, if so try run locale on terminal. If it output LANG=Ci think thast the problem. IF its not, i think its because your system fetch output wierd, like maybe you GPU spec or Host name or something is not UTF-8

[AmmarSyamil]

If you are fine wiht sharing your system fetch. can u screenshot or just paste your fastfetch output?
