Hi i liked the font, but when i set it, my icons in neovim went bad, because they use Nerd font.

Image

So i found way how to setup fallback in iterm2 to nerdfont:

  • Go to settings -> profiles -> text
    Image

  • setup main font for Myna ( or whatever you want )
    Image

  • and after turn on non-ascii font option, it will work as a fallback
    Image

now icons work:

You can patch the font with the nerdfont font-patching script. Should fix your issue.

Wonderful typeset, thank you for sharing this with us, @sayyadirfanali!

I came here to gently suggest expanding the glyph set to include the Nerd Font symbols :) -- this would truly expand its applicability. It's a lot of work, I understand that; a huge undertaking even... so I can't possibly expect anything, just to tenderly suggest this would make for a grateful nerddom :)

Meanwhile we could indeed patch it, as @aaatipamula suggested -- but it will be an ugly solution, defeating the original vision of clarity and alignment of symbols, with glyphs of different styles and sizes staring at you from your TUI.

I just hope you would find the time, passion and motivation to continue this wonderful project.
Thank you!

@hurtki i've used the patching script to generate a Myna-NerdFont.otf now. please try too see if it works.

@lucianferoiu i'm not sure what your suggestion entails. isn't the patch going to add the font to include the NerdFont symbols? i'm quite unfamiliar with NerdFonts as i'd never heard of it before.

thanks for sharing the screnshot @flppv.

@hurtki i don't use NerdFont but this looks pretty good to me.

@lucianferoiu i'm afraid individually designing/calibrating each of these glyphs won't be possible. as a non-user, i don't have the necessary expertise, need, or time to do it. i think the patched version looks good enough, for now at least.

closing this now. please open another if any other problems occur with the patched version.
