[why] For some reason we determine the bounding box xmax value of the 'normal' extended glyphs. For the cell size we use the advance width of those glyphs - the xmax values is not utilized at all. But if we would ever use it, it might be good to see that something unexpected(?) happened. This commit is not really necessary. Maybe it is good, maybe it just adds noise. We can always remove it later. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de> |

Font Installation
Option 1: Download and Install Manually
Best option for quickly getting a specific individual font.
Download the specific patched font of your choice
Option 2: Release Archive Download
Best option if you want an archive or complete font family of variations (Bold, Italic, etc.).
Fonts are available for download as packages in the latest release
Option 3: Install Script
Best option if you want to automate installing or for use in scripts.
Note: Requires cloning the repo as of now
All fonts:
- Installs all the patched Fonts (Warning: This is a lot of Fonts adding up to a large size)
./install.sh
or, in Powershell (Windows only):
./install.ps1
Single font:
- Installs a single Font of your choice
./install.sh <FontName>
./install.sh Hack
./install.sh HeavyData
or, in Powershell (Windows only):
./install.ps1 <FontName>
./install.ps1 Hack
./install.ps1 HeavyData
./install.ps1 FiraCode, Hack
./install.ps1 CascadiaCode -WindowsCompatibleOnly
./install.ps1 DejaVuSansMono -WhatIf
Option 4: Homebrew Fonts
Best option if on macOS and want to use Homebrew.
All fonts are available via Homebrew Cask Fonts on macOS (OS X)
brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew install font-hack-nerd-font
Option 5: Clone the Repo
Best option for full control, all or some of the fonts, or contributing to development.
A full clone of this repository is not required nor efficient (mostly due to Repository size) if you are simply only interested in a limited set of fonts.
If you do want to clone the entire repo be sure to shallow clone:
git clone --depth 1
If you want to clone a sub-directory, use git sparse-checkout. The following example requires Git v2.26:
git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse git@github.com:ryanoasis/nerd-fonts
cd nerd-fonts
git sparse-checkout add patched-fonts/JetBrainsMono
Option 6: Ad Hoc Curl Download
Option if you want to use the
curlcommand or for use in scripts.
Linux
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts
cd ~/.local/share/fonts && curl -fLo "Droid Sans Mono for Powerline Nerd Font Complete.otf" https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/HEAD/patched-fonts/DroidSansMono/complete/Droid%20Sans%20Mono%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete.otf
Note: deprecated alternative paths: ~/.fonts
macOS (OS X)
cd ~/Library/Fonts && curl -fLo "Droid Sans Mono for Powerline Nerd Font Complete.otf" https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/HEAD/patched-fonts/DroidSansMono/complete/Droid%20Sans%20Mono%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete.otf
Option 7: Unofficial Chocolatey or Scoop Repositories
Option for Windows and wanting to use Chocolatey or Scoop.
Chocolatey users can download fonts published to the Chocolatey Community Repository (CCR):
choco install nerd-fonts-hack
Scoop users can download fonts using the Scoop bucket for Nerd Fonts:
scoop bucket add nerd-fonts
scoop install Hack-NF
Option 8: Arch Community Repository
Option for Arch Linux and wanting to use Community packages.
Most fonts are available via Arch Community packages. Some special packages are in AUR.
Option 9: Patch Your Own Font
The option for patching your own font or fully customizing the patched font.
Use the provided Python command line script to generate a patched font from your own font to get the extra new glyphs
See: Font Patcher for usage
- use this option if you do not want to use one of the fonts provided
- you will still need to copy the generated font to the correct font directory on your system
Patching the font of your own choosing:
-
Use the script
- Download script and its helper files as archive and extract
- Just downloading the
font-patcherscript is not enough. - Requires: Fontforge, Python 3,
python-fontforgeandargparsepackages- Fontforge can be installed as package
- or on OSX via
brew install fontforge - or as AppImage
- Usage, recommended:
fontforge -script font-patcher PATH_TO_FONT- Usage, direct (more convenient call, if it works for you):
./font-patcher PATH_TO_FONT-
Usage, with Fontforge AppImage
Note:
chmod u+xthe AppImage after download. All supplied paths need to be absolute and an explicit output path is required! If everything is located in the same directory, you can use the$PWDshorthand.
./FontForge.AppImage -script $PWD/font-patcher $PWD/BaseFont.ttf -out /tmp -
Use docker
docker run --rm -v /path/to/fonts:/in -v /path/for/output:/out nerdfonts/patcher [OPTIONS]
