With nerd-icons-font-family set to "Symbols Nerd Font", my dashboardlooks like the following:

The problem comes from (insert (format "%-3s" icon)) in, e.g., doom-dashboard-insert-project-shortmenu. The produced string inherits the properties of the icon, including its font, and "Symbols Nerd Font" only has icons.
This could be fixed by simply replacing the offending code with (insert (string-pad icon 3)).
