About:
This package installs the IMWriting Nerd Font, a patched version of iA Writer's fonts that adds a large set of glyphs from popular icon sets like Font Awesome, Devicons, and Octicons. It enables developers and power users to use a single, cohesive font for both code and UI elements in terminals, code editors, and IDEs. The main value is maintaining typographic clarity for prose while gaining extensive icon support for technical workflows.
Key Features:
  • Patched with over 2,000 additional glyphs from icon sets
  • Maintains the original iA Writer font's readability and design
  • Supports a wide range of applications (terminals, editors, IDEs)
  • Includes multiple font families and weights
  • Regular updates synchronized with the upstream Nerd Fonts project
Use Cases:
  • Customizing terminal prompts and status bars with icons
  • Enhancing code editors and IDEs with iconified file trees and gutter markers
  • Creating technical documentation or diagrams that mix text and symbols
Alternatives:
  • font-hack-nerd-font – A Nerd Font patched from the Hack programming font, focused more on code legibility than prose.
  • font-fira-code-nerd-font – A Nerd Font patched from Fira Code, known for its programming ligatures, whereas IMWriting is optimized for writing.
