8. Neofetch

Neofetch Wiki

for an alternative you could check out neofetch -- https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch -- it's pretty cool.

Well, yes... they're running on non-Windows systems/alternative operating systems. What are you expecting? Plug-and-play? That's not going to happen with non-Native applications. Just like if you were to install (as an example) neofetch onto Windows, you'd have to recompile it's instructions to run on it (sidenote: You can get neofetch to run on Windows... via Windows Subsystems for Linux, but that's off topic).

With neofetch development seemingly stalled since Dec 2021, and notably without support for proper support for ANSI color codes, I took it upon myself to write an incredibly simple script that replaces ANSI escape sequences with the ${c1}-${c6} modifiers that neofetch actually supports.

Oh I see, yeah the name is the same. Though I just found in this file in the neofetch github this line: cpu="${cpu//with Radeon * Graphics}" Shouldn't this have removed the string by default?

Use any nerd fonts

SourceCodePro: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tree/master/patched-fonts/SourceCodePro

Hot off the press: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/tag/v3.1.0

It's a bit expensive, and I can understand if someone can't or doesn't want to spend money on it. I would recommend to check out the free fonts 'JetBains Mono' & 'Hack' to these people.

Some people have already mentioned here that Berkeley Mono is not available as Nerd Font. I would like to briefly point out that Nerd Fonts provides a font patcher tool (https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts#font-patcher).

I'm using Neovim v0.9.1 on Ubuntu 23.04 with NvChad. I've also installed the JetBrainsMono font, as NvChad requires a Nerd Font, but nothing besides that and I haven't edited any settings or nvim files and I haven't installed any additional plugins.

There are a lot of code fonts on HN today. Rather than make a new post I will talk about some of my favorite that are a little less common. None of these are free I don't think.

Cartograph CF - The one I've been using for code for years. Very readable, almost "comic mono"-like choices of some of the lower case glyphs but in a good way. All the character is in the italic which you will either love or hate.

Quadraat sans mono - The entire quadraat family is a collection of masterpieces imo, but are generally too distinctive to be appropriate for most public-facing work. But it's your computer so who cares. I use the mono sans one for my terminal. The lowercase f seems so out of place there but you learn to love it.

Alegreya sans - Not a mono font, but it almost is so if you've ever flirted with proportional fonts for code this is a fun one to try. There is a lot of careful line width variation that gives a lot of the appearance and readability advantages of serifs but keeps most of the visual coherence of sans.

I like all of these because they look feel more like normal fonts rather than code fonts. They have careful variation that adds character and improves readability for me. I've switched to an almost-no-color code theme that uses font weight instead, and the details like this become more important that way.

And then only kind of related but if you want to use unusual fonts in your terminal but you have a complex prompt setup, install font forge and learn to use something like https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/blob/master/font-pat... to patch in the extra characters. This can also solve your "I love this font but want a dotted zero" type problems as well. Small skill investment for a small return over a long period of time. You'll always be using fonts.

It is FiraCode Nerd Font Mono:size=16. You can find it here. On arch linux you can just install the nerd-fonts and it's included there.

I'm assuming you're using a Nerd Font already, since I see the Rust logo and folder icons in your terminal. However, it's possible that your particular font is based on Nerd Font 2.x and the newest version is 3.x. Maybe try scanning your Lua config with nerdfix to identify whether the diagnostics icons you have set (among others) are using outdated 2.x character codes. If they are, try replacing them in your config, and also try upgrading your terminal's Nerd Font compliant font to the latest version (NF's GitHub release page says 3.0.1 is the newest version). Hope this helps your troubleshooting efforts!
