=== Installing specific fonts from nerdfonts ===

~~You probably want to install some~~ fonts from the [https://www.nerdfonts.com/ nerdfonts] repository and ~~not the entire repository (it takes~~ a ~~lot~~ of time to install ~~all the fonts)~~. ~~To achieve that on stable 20.03,~~ you ~~can use an overlay created by [https://github.com/lightdiscord/nix-nerd-~~fonts~~-overlay# LightDiscord]. Here is an example of how to use it:~~

The <code>nerdfonts</code> package, which contains all fonts from the [https://www.nerdfonts.com/ nerdfonts] repository is quite large and conrains a large number of fonts which take some time to install. If you only need a selection of fonts from the package, you can overwrite the font selection on Stable 20.09 like so:

~~<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">~~

~~{ pkgs~~, ~~... }:~~

{

~~nixpkgs.overlays = [ (import ./nix-nerd-fonts-overlay/default.nix) ]; # Assuming~~ you ~~cloned~~ the ~~repository to the same directory~~

~~fonts.fonts = with pkgs; [~~

~~nerd-fonts.firacode~~

~~nerd-fonts.jetbrainsmono~~

~~nerd-fonts.droidsansmono~~

];

}

~~</syntaxhighlight>~~

This will cause NixOS to download only [https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tree/master/patched-fonts/FiraCode Fira Code], [https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tree/master/patched-fonts/JetBrainsMono Jetbrains Mono] and [https://github.~~com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tree/master/patched-fonts/DroidSansMono Droid Sans Mono] fonts from [https~~:~~//github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts nerd-fonts] instead of the whole package.~~

~~On unstable however, there's a built-in option that looks like this:~~

{ pkgs, ... }:
