+=== 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>ihttps://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.
