Compatible with NerdFonts

[mdSlash]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Setting up icons with IconicFont can be a real pain. Trying to match each NerdFont symbol with the right IconicFont is frustrating because they use different codepoints. Plus, you need to make sure you’ve got both patched NerdFonts and IconicFonts installed on your system to see everything correctly.

Describe the solution you'd like

Adapt IconicFonts glyphs to be compatible with NerdFonts codepoints.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Why you don't just use NerdFonts?

• NerdFonts doesn’t support your favorite icon sets, and you don’t want to wait an unknown amount of time for them to add support—if it ever happens.
• The alignment of NerdFonts glyphs isn’t perfect; it can be quite random and inconsistent.

Subset how?

Use Nerd fonts icon set instead of codicons, octicons, etc.; and parts of the script maybe ? (I don't know a lot about how fonts work).

I'm already working on it, and it will be included in the next release.
