=== Install fonts in nix-shells === | |||
<code>fonts</code> is not available as set-valued option in <code>mkshell</code> (gives you an error because it tries to coerce an attribute set into a string). Instead, insert the following:<ref>https://programming.dev/post/32484220</ref> | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix"> | |||
{pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }: | |||
let | |||
fontsConf = pkgs.makeFontsConf { | |||
fontDirectories = [ | |||
# your needed fonts here, e.g.: | |||
pkgs.font-awesome | |||
pkgs.atkinson-hyperlegible-next | |||
]; | |||
}; | |||
in | |||
pkgs.mkShell { | |||
packages = with pkgs; [ | |||
# your font-dependent packages, e.g.: | |||
typst | |||
]; | |||
shellHook = '' | |||
export FONTCONFIG_FILE="${fontsConf}" | |||
''; | |||
} | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
Then <code>typst fonts</code> finds the installed fonts in the nix-shell. | |||
