icons-in-terminal lets you use icon fonts in the terminal without patching or replacing your existing font, by merging glyphs from multiple TTF/OTF fonts into a new font installed via fontconfig. It provides shell integrations (bash, fish, emacs) so icons can be referenced by stable variable names.
Use cases
- show file icons in terminal ls output
- use nerd font icons without patching my font
- add multiple icon fonts to the terminal
- print available glyph names in shell
- use icons in bash or fish prompt
- use icon fonts in emacs
When to choose
- you want terminal icons without replacing or patching your monospace font
- you need to combine glyphs from several icon fonts
- you want stable icon names that survive font updates
When to avoid
- you prefer a pre-patched Nerd Font setup
- you need icons in terminals without fontconfig support
- you want a maintained package with frequent releases
