* Package name : fonts-nerd-symbols Version : 3.4.0 Upstream Contact: Nerd Fonts contributors * URL : https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts * License : MIT Programming Lang: n/a (fonts and fontconfig XML) Description : Nerd Fonts symbols fallback for fontconfig fonts-nerd-symbols installs Symbols Nerd Font and fontconfig aliases so existing terminal fonts such as Ubuntu Sans Mono can render Nerd Font icon glyphs without switching the whole terminal font. This is useful for terminal users whose prompts, CLIs, editors, or shells use Nerd Font private-use glyphs. It preserves the user's chosen monospace font for normal text and uses Symbols Nerd Font only as fallback for missing icon glyphs. The package installs only the Nerd Fonts Symbols Only assets, not a full patched font family. This differs from installing a patched Nerd Font face because users do not need to change their whole terminal font. The intended install paths are: - /usr/share/fonts/truetype/nerd-fonts-symbols/ - /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/ - /etc/fonts/conf.d/ The fontconfig snippet is provided by upstream Nerd Fonts and aliases Symbols Nerd Font as a fallback for common monospace font families and generic monospace. I plan to maintain the Debian packaging at: https://salsa.debian.org/marlen/debian-fonts-nerd-symbols I will prepare the source package for sponsor review through mentors.debian.net and am open to maintaining it under the Debian Fonts Team if that is preferred.
