Making my own Nerd Font

Well-structured status lines in vim and shell prompts with version control symbols are a nice quality-of-life improvement. Unfortunately, not all monospace fonts come with the necessary PowerLine glyphs. For example, my favourite font is Operator Mono , and it too doesn’t have PowerLine symbols built in. Thanks to the NerdFonts font patcher , I was able to generate a font variant that has the necessary symbols. I simply ran the tool as a Docker container in my fonts directory: $ mkdir HCo_OperatorMonoSSmNF $ docker run --rm -v $PWD /HCo_OperatorMonoSSm/OpenType:/in \ -v $PWD /HCo_OperatorMonoSSmNF:/out \ nerdfonts/patcher --windows --powerline --powerlineextra Now my spaceship shell prompt sparks even more joy.
