=== Using fonts from TexLive === | |||
You can make use of all TeX/LaTeX fonts from CTAN and [[TexLive]] by passing | |||
the <code>fonts</code> attribute of your TexLive package to <code>fonts.package</code>: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix"> | |||
{ pkgs, ... }: | |||
let | |||
mytex = | |||
pkgs.texliveConTeXt.withPackages | |||
(ps: with ps; [ | |||
fandol | |||
libertinus-fonts | |||
]); | |||
in { | |||
fonts.packages = builtins.attrValues { | |||
inherit (pkgs) | |||
dejavu_fonts | |||
noto-fonts-cjk-serif | |||
noto-fonts-cjk-sans | |||
julia-mono; | |||
} ++ [ mytex.fonts ]; | |||
} | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||

Installing all fonts from the [https://www.nerdfonts.com/ Nerd Fonts repository] is as simple as adding all of the individual packages to the NixOS configuration. The following line will do exactly that, by searching for all derivations under the <code>nerd-font</code> attribute:{{file|/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|nix|<nowiki> | Installing all fonts from the [https://www.nerdfonts.com/ Nerd Fonts repository] is as simple as adding all of the individual packages to the NixOS configuration.

=== Patching nerdfonts into fonts === | |||
Not all fonts have Nerd Fonts variants, thankfully you can easily patch them in yourself. | |||
