Add Monaspace Nerd Font

[redactedscribe]

Not sure if new fonts are automatically added, but I'd like to see Monaspace/Monaspice in the bucket once it's available: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/pull/1405

Thanks.

Thanks for bringing this information!

We rely on the upstream nerd-fonts repository put the patched font in their release page, because what the font installer in this repository do is download the font files from their release page.

That means, after nerd-fonts releases a newer version, we can easily add Monaspace & Monaspice into the bucket.

Edited:

Monaspace font already added in #259

We can use the following commands to install it:

scoop update

scoop install Monaspace

No problem.

This is the original Monaspace (non-patched) and the reason why I ask for the Nerd Fonts version.

I will wait until Monaspice is present in a NF release.

Monaspace nerd font version should now be available with the latest release (3.1.0)

Hi,

I just add Monaspace-NF, Monaspace-NF-Mono, and Monaspace-NF-Propo. Now, we can use the following commands to install them:

scoop update

scoop install Monaspace-NF
scoop install Monaspace-NF-Mono
scoop install Monaspace-NF-Propo

Thanks @jonz94!

I've usually just downloaded and used the *-NF-Mono fronts available in this bucket and it's been fine. But I'm curious, what are (and why would I want) the plain *-NF or *-NF-Propo variants?

Edit: I think this might be to do with the flags the fonts have set, right? Some text editors will only let your pick a monospaced font if it's a "true" monospaced font, which I'm guessing only the *-NF-Mono variant is.

Great question!

Yes! You're right! The *-NF-Mono variant serves this purpose.

What are the plain *-NF or *-NF-Propo variants?

The full description of each font can be seen using the scoop info command:

PS C:\> scoop info Monaspace-NF

Name        : Monaspace-NF
Description : Nerd Fonts patched 'Monaspace' Font family. (Normal version, Nerd Fonts Symbol/Icon could be 1 or 2 cell wide)
(...)

PS C:\>scoop info Monaspace-NF-Mono

Name        : Monaspace-NF-Mono
Description : Nerd Fonts patched 'Monaspace' Font family. (Monospace version, Nerd Fonts Symbol/Icon will be always 1 cell wide)
(...)

PS C:\> scoop info Monaspace-NF-Propo

Name        : Monaspace-NF-Propo
Description : Nerd Fonts patched 'Monaspace' Font family. (Proportional version, for GUI usecases)
(...)
