Nerd Fonts Developer Icon Fonts

Nerd Fonts is a free and open-source project that provides developer-targeted, patched fonts containing a large number of icons and glyphs from popular icon sets, enabling rich visual information display in terminal applications, code editors, and development tools. Created by Ryan L. McIntyre (ryanoasis) in 2014, Nerd Fonts takes popular programming fonts and patches them with thousands of additional glyphs and icons from various icon sets, providing a single font that works across all developer tools. Key features: font patching: Nerd Fonts takes popular monospace programming fonts (Fira Code, JetBrains Mono, Hack, Source Code Pro, Meslo, Iosevka, Cascadia Code, Ubuntu Mono, Inconsolata, Monoid, Mononoki, and many others) and patches them with additional icon glyphs. Icon sets included: Devicons (web development icons), Font Awesome (general purpose icons), Octicons (GitHub icons), Powerline Extra Symbols, Seti-UI (language and framework icons), Font Logos (Linux distributions and open source projects), Pomicons, and original Nerd Font icons. Over 11,000 glyphs in total (v3.0+). Nerd Font versioning: v1 (legacy, ~1,600 glyphs), v2 (3,000+ glyphs), v3 (current, 11,000+ glyphs). Installation: download pre-patched font files (.ttf, .otf) and install them in the system font directory. Glyph ranges: Nerd Fonts uses Unicode Private Use Area (PUA) ranges (E000-F8FF, FB00-FBFF, etc.) to store icons, avoiding conflicts with standard Unicode characters. Font Formats: TrueType, OpenType, and Web Open Font Format (WOFF) for web use. Use cases: terminal prompt customization (Powerlevel10k, Starship, oh-my-zsh themes), editor status lines (Vim/Neovim, VS Code, Emacs), file manager icons (lsd, exa, nerdfile), Git status icons, programming language icons, and Docker/container icons. Cross-platform: Linux, macOS, Windows. MIT.
