Nerd Fonts are simply patched fonts that contain images from a range of iconic fonts such as Font Awesome. They are easy to use and install, they save you the trouble of having to install multiple iconic fonts, and there are a large range of pre-patched fonts available. If you wish, you can even patch your favourite font with the icons you want to use.

There really isn't anything complicated about Nerd fonts, and if you use a window manager you will probably already have heard of them, but perhaps you've only used Font Awesome so far. If so, give these a try and see what you think.

Personally, I've switched completely from Font Awesome now because Nerd fonts do I everything I need from an iconic font set - e.g. multiple icons and powerline symbols all in one place.

I hope you enjoy the video :-)
