What is Nerd Fonts?
Nerd Fonts is an open-source project that patches existing programming fonts with thousands of extra glyphs (icons) from popular icon sets like Font Awesome, Material Design Icons, and Octicons. It solves the problem of missing icons in monospaced fonts used in terminals, code editors, and IDEs, allowing developers to see icons directly in their text interfaces.
Developers, system administrators, and power users who work in terminals, code editors, or IDEs and want to enhance their interface with visual icons without switching fonts.
It provides a massive collection of pre-patched fonts and a flexible patcher script, giving users the freedom to add icons to any font they prefer, ensuring consistency and a rich visual experience across development tools.
