About:
font-awesome-terminal-fonts provides the Font Awesome icon set rendered specifically for terminal use. It allows developers to display scalable vector icons directly within terminal applications and scripts. This package is ideal for enhancing CLI tools and scripts with visual indicators and icons.
Key Features:
  • High-resolution icon rendering optimized for terminal display
  • Includes the full Font Awesome 5/6 icon set
  • Easy integration with shell scripts and terminal applications
  • Supports both regular and powerline-style terminal setups
Use Cases:
  • Enhancing shell prompts with visual icons for git status, directories, and system metrics
  • Adding visual flair to CLI tools and custom scripts
  • Creating ASCII-based dashboards or status monitors in the terminal
Alternatives:
  • Nerd Fonts – Nerd Fonts patches existing fonts to include icons, whereas this package provides the raw icon glyphs specifically for terminal usage.
  • font-awesome – The standard font-awesome package provides vector files for web/desktop use, lacking the specific rasterization for terminal environments.
