About:
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono is a highly legible monospaced font designed for code readability. This Nerd Font version patches the original with an extensive set of Powerline symbols, icons, and glyphs from popular icon sets. It enables developers to enhance their terminal, code editor, and shell prompts with rich visual indicators and devicons.
Key Features:
  • Monospaced design optimized for code clarity and alignment
  • Includes hundreds of extra glyphs (Powerline, FontAwesome, Devicons)
  • Excellent hinting and legibility on low-resolution displays
  • Free and open-source
Use Cases:
  • Enhancing terminal multiplexers like tmux with status line symbols
  • Customizing code editor UIs (VS Code, Vim, Neovim) with file type icons
  • Improving shell prompt visuals (Zsh, Fish) with git branch and status indicators
Alternatives:
  • font-meslo-lg-nerd-font – A popular alternative derived from Menlo, offering a slightly different aesthetic and character set.
  • font-fira-code-nerd-font – Features ligatures for programming operators in addition to Nerd Font glyphs.
