Variations

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

If you want download the latest release of a given font inside a script you can use (replace "JetBrainsMono" with your font):

curl -OL https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/latest/download/JetBrainsMono.tar.xz

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 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 [email protected]: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 curl command or for use in scripts.

Linux

mkdir -p ~/.local/share/fonts
cd ~/.local/share/fonts && curl -fLO https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/HEAD/patched-fonts/DroidSansMono/DroidSansMNerdFont-Regular.otf

Note: deprecated alternative paths: ~/.fonts

macOS (OS X)

cd ~/Library/Fonts && curl -fLO https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/HEAD/patched-fonts/DroidSansMono/DroidSansMNerdFont-Regular.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 Extra Repository

Option for Arch Linux and wanting to use Extra packages.

Most fonts are available via Arch Extra 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

font-patcher

Nerd Fonts Patcher

Patching the font of your own choosing:

  • Use the script

    • Download script and its helper files as archive and extract
    • Just downloading the font-patcher script is not enough.
    • Requires: Fontforge, Python 3, python-fontforge and argparse packages
      • 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+x the 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 $PWD shorthand.

    ./FontForge.AppImage -script $PWD/font-patcher $PWD/BaseFont.ttf -out /tmp
    
  • Use docker

    docker run --rm -v /path/to/fonts:/in:Z -v /path/for/output:/out:Z nerdfonts/patcher [OPTIONS]
    

Note

The resulting font's family (aka font name) will be set to the original family after CamelCasing, removing whitespace and appending Nerd Font. For example, iosevka term would become IosevkaTerm Nerd Font.

Gotta Patch 'em All Font Patcher!

  • for Contributor or Developer use

  • re-patches all fonts in the unpatched directory:

    ./gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher\!.sh
    
  • can optionally limit to specific font name pattern:

    ./gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher\!.sh Hermit
    
  • or to specific directory name start:

    ./gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher\!.sh /Heavy
    

Full options:

Usage: ./gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher!.sh [OPTION] [FILTER]

    OPTION:
        -c, --checkfont     Create the font(s) in check-fonts/ instead
        -t, --keeptime      Try to preserve timestamp of previously patched
                            font in patched-fonts/ directory
        -v, --verbose       Show more information when running
        -i, --info          Rebuild JUST the readmes
        -j, --jobs          Run up to 8 patch processes in parallel
        -h, --help          Show this help

    FILTER:
        The filter argument to this script is a filter for the fonts to patch.
        The filter is a regex (glob * is expressed as [^/]*, see `man 7 glob`)
        All font files that start with that filter (and are ttf, otf, or sfd files) will
        be processed only.
          Example ./gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher\!.sh "iosevka"
          Process all font files that start with "iosevka"
        If the argument starts with a '/' all font files in a directory that matches
        the filter are processed only.
          Example ./gotta-patch-em-all-font-patcher\!.sh "/iosevka"
          Process all font files that are in directory "iosevka"
