# nerdfonts takes popular open fonts and patches them to support a wider range of glyphs, notably emoji.
# any nerdfonts font includes icons such as these:
# - 󱊥 (battery charging)
# - 󰃝 (brightness)
# -  (gps / crosshairs)
# - 󰎈 (music note)
# - 󰍦 (message bubble)
# - 󰏲 (phone)
# -  (weather/sun-behind-clouds)
# used particularly by sxmo utilities, but also a few of my own (e.g. conky)
#
# nerdfonts is very heavy. each font is 20-900 MiB (2 MiB per "variation")
# lots of redundant data inside there, but no deduplication except whatever nix or the fs does implicitly.
