I’m currently working on my NixOS config. On other distros, I would install Daniel Aleksandersen’s CC-Symbols font so that I would have glyphs for Unicode’s Creative Commons symbols. I want to find a way to declaratively install a font with those glyphs.
According to the NixOS Wiki, it’s pretty easy to declaratively install Nerd Fonts. Here’s my concern: according to the cheat sheet, Nerd Fonts has CC symbols glyphs, but they appears to use different code points than the Unicode Standard does. For example, the circled CC symbol is
U+E291
on the cheat sheet, but it’sU+1F16D
in Unicode’s code charts.Does Nerd Fonts provide glyphs for the CC code points in Unicode, or does it only provide glyphs for its own private use code points? Are there any plans for making Nerd Fonts use the standard code points in the future?
EDIT: I ended up finding a way to install Aleksandersen’s CC-Symbols font declaratively. I coppied it to
/ect/nixos/deployment/
and added the following to my Home Manager configuration:Beta Was this translation helpful? Give feedback.
