ShareTechMono

[catbabylon]

Hi I've just installed ShareTechMono-NF-Mono via Scoop on windows and noticed in Powershell, when I type the letters f and i with no space, they are replaced by an icon of a telephone.

If I change to any other nerd font, the issue goes away.

Kind of duplicate to #509.

I do not know snoop, but if you try ShareTechMono from the v2.2.0 RC it should be fine.

Is there a manual on the scoop based install?

[catbabylon]

Ah OK thanks, they are on 2.1.0 so I'll just hang on for it to update and use a different font in the meantime.

Everything about scoop is at https://scoop.sh/ and https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Scoop . There is a scoop bucket specifically for nerd fonts: https://github.com/matthewjberger/scoop-nerd-fonts which I presume updates directly from here.

Ah, yes, they download a fixed release:

{
    "version": "2.1.0",
    "license": "MIT",
    "homepage": "https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts",
    "url": "https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v2.1.0/ShareTechMono.zip",
    "hash": "99b7f0cf4de6446ffdb8bf5ae19b2b95f38ca56eee658677f672f80abcafe9c0",

I guess I never understood why people want a 'meta installer' for fonts. Usually I just download thezip, unpack it and double click on the fonts to install them. But then, I usually buy fonts and that naturally limits the amount of fonts. On the other hand, who wants the system cluttered with hideous amounts of fonts that makes selection a burden? Using a font manager to limits the amount of installed fonts per project :grimacing:

Who would use the 'install all nerd fonts that there are' script in this repo.

Just musing :-D

So my tip ... just download the v2.2.0 ShareTech zip file, and the double-click install the fonts you want (i.e. Windows compatble). This is just 1 and a half click more than using scoop.

Hi I uninstalled the scoop version and installed the 2.2.0-RC and I still have the same issue

Hmm, did you reboot after deinstallation? The font installation stuff on Windows is a mystery for me. I never needed to reboot after uninstall but some ppl claim they need to (to clear the font cache or something?).

If that does not help I can retry on my Windows VM.

[catbabylon]

Yeah double checked the scoop versions are gone, removed the 2.2.0, rebooted, reinstalled 2.2.0 still got the issue.

[catbabylon]

however, the version here works...

This is strange....

mkdir tmp
cd tmp
curl -LO https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/master/patched-fonts/ShareTechMono/complete/Shure%20Tech%20Mono%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete%20Mono%20Windows%20Compatible.ttf
curl -LO https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/2.2.0-RC/ShareTechMono.zip
unzip *.zip
cmp *Complete*Mono*Windows*.ttf
ll *Complete*Mono*Windows*.ttf

WAT?! The RC should always be the same as the current HEAD files? Will investigate.

Seems to be something wrong with the github actions...

This is the latest run, that should have updated the release candidate https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/runs/5315579750?check_suite_focus=true

Maybe I find time to debug the action, but usually I'm just here to improve the patching itself :unamused:

So this means ... whenever I say Use the Release Candidate that in fact means Use HEAD *sigh*

Solved in release
