Nerd Fonts is an iconic font aggregator, collection, and patcher.
This project patches developer targeted fonts with a high number of glyphs (icons). Specifically to add a high number of extra glyphs from popular ‘iconic fonts’ such as Font Awesome, Devicons, Octicons, and others.
There is also a font patcher available if your desired font isn’t already patched.
Key Features
- A FontForge Python script to patch any font.
- Includes an option to create Monospaced (fixed-pitch, fixed-width) or double-width (non-monospaced) glyphs.
- 53 already patched font families.
- Over 9,000 glyphs/icons combined.
- Current glyph sets include: Powerline with Extra Symbols, Font Awesome, Material Design Icons, Weather, Devicons, Octicons, Font Logos (Formerly Font Linux), Pomicons, Codeicons.
- Monospaced (fixed-pitch, fixed-width) or double-width (non-monospaced) or proportional glyphs version of each font.
