**Nerd Fonts** is a project that attempts to patch as many developer targeted and/or used fonts as possible. The patch is to specifically add a high number of additional glyphs from popular 'iconic fonts' such as [Font Awesome][font-awesome], [Devicons][vorillaz-devicons], [Octicons][octicons], and others.
For more high level info see the [wiki][wiki]. Looking for the Vim plugin see [vim-devicons ➶][vim-devicons].
