Install nerdfonts

• https://www.nerdfonts.com is a Iconic font aggregator, collection, and patcher
• Different apps use nerdfonts, so we need to install a font package, else:
  • Starship fonts won’t show up properly
  • Neovim symbols will nos show up correctly
  • Other apps that use symbols will display them incorrectly
  • Demonstration in the video
• Fonts were already installed automatically by my Brewfiles, but will uninstall them so you can see how it looks like without fonts

brew uninstall font-meslo-lg-nerd-font

# Terminal symbols don't look correctly
cd ~/github/dotfiles-latest/karabiner/mxstbr

# Neovim symbols don't show up correctly
nvim

• To install the fonts again

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew install --cask font-meslo-lg-nerd-font
# fc command to verify if fonts are installed
brew install fontconfig

fc-list | grep -i "Meslo"

fc-list | grep -i "MesloLGM Nerd Font"

• After this, close and re-open alacritty
