A collection of tools, fonts, and instructions for displaying awesome symbols and glyphs in a terminal with a monospace font. It provides font maps that let shell scripts reference glyphs by name instead of raw codepoints, supporting both font patching and freetype2 fallback strategies.
Use cases
- make my terminal prompt show fancy icons
- add powerline symbols to my shell prompt
- use font awesome glyphs in terminal scripts
- merge icon fonts with my monospace font
- refer to glyphs by name instead of unicode codepoints
- set up font fallback for symbols in terminal
When to choose
- you want a visually rich terminal prompt with icons and symbols
- you need stable, named references to glyphs that survive font updates
- you want guidance on patching vs fallback strategies for terminal fonts
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose font management tool
- you want pre-patched fonts for a specific framework like powerline or nerd fonts
- you don't customize your shell prompt or terminal appearance
