thanks
Thanks.
BTW, It is possible to use ~/.local/share/fonts
instead of ~/.fonts
.
1 - just copy the bash script bellow and save with [yourname].sh
#/bin/bash
# install DroidSansMono Nerd Font --> u can choose another at: https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads
echo "[-] Download fonts [-]"
echo "https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v2.1.0/DroidSansMono.zip"
wget https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v2.1.0/DroidSansMono.zip
unzip DroidSansMono.zip -d ~/.fonts
fc-cache -fv
echo "done!"
2 - Open a terminal and execute the scritpt with:
bash [yourname].sh
Thanks.

Yes on newer versions of ubuntu according to: https://askubuntu.com/questions/3697/how-do-i-install-fonts?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=google_rich_qa&utm_campaign=google_rich_qa
thx XD
You may want to exclude Windows related versions of the fonts.
Here is my Ansible task to give a hint:
---
- name: Update from git
ansible.builtin.git:
repo: "https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts.git"
dest: "{{ ansible_env.HOME }}/src/ikon/nerd-fonts"
depth: 1
force: yes
- name: Select fonts to install
ansible.builtin.find:
recurse: yes
use_regex: yes
paths: "{{ ansible_env.HOME }}/src/ikon/nerd-fonts/patched-fonts"
patterns:
- '^.*?((?!Windows).)*?\.ttf$'
register: fonts_to_install
#- debug: var=fonts_to_install
- ansible.builtin.copy:
dest: "{{ ansible_env.HOME }}/.local/share/fonts/{{ item.path | basename }}"
src: "{{ item.path }}"
remote_src: yes
loop: "{{ fonts_to_install.files }}"
notify:
- update font cache
If you prefer not to checkout too many files from the repo, just use svn to download the folder you want. For example, I just needed Meslo L-DZ Regular
, so I did the following:
svn co --depth=empty https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts.git/trunk nerd-fonts
cd nerd-fonts
svn up patched-fonts --depth=empty
svn up patched-fonts/Meslo --depth=empty
svn up patched-fonts/Meslo/L-DZ --depth=empty
svn up patched-fonts/Meslo/L-DZ/Regular --depth=empty
svn up patched-fonts/Meslo/L-DZ/Regular/complete --depth=files
Admittedly a bit repetitive, but depending on your internet connection you would have spent more time achieving the same results with git. You could also decide to write a script for this if you deem it necessary.
All you need to do to keep it up to date is (from the root of the repo):
svn up
I ended up using nerdfonts too:
font pango: MesloLGS NF Regular 10
I basically did this to install the fonts: https://gist.github.com/matthewjberger/7dd7e079f282f8138a9dc3b045ebefa0
Downloaded the fonts and placed them in ~/.fonts
On Debian:
/usr/local/share/fonts/
to install fonts system-wide
~/.local/share/fonts/
or ~/.fonts
to install fonts just for the current user
So, this is what I did to install Meslo Nerd font on Raspberry Pi OS:
sudo apt install fontconfig
cd ~
wget https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v2.3.0-RC/Meslo.zip
mkdir -p .local/share/fonts
unzip Meslo.zip -d .local/share/fonts
cd .local/share/fonts
rm *Windows*
cd ~
rm Meslo.zip
fc-cache -fv
Thanks
4.) List fira fonts with
fc-list | grep -i "fira"|awk -F: '{print $2}' |sort|uniq
good resource
