Can I piggy back nerd fonts?

[khuongduybui]

It will be AMAZINGLY AWESOME for this font to come with Nerd Fonts out of the box!!!

[cerebrate]

On the off-chance that I'm the first person to have tried it with the release, I can confirm that

fontforge -script font-patcher -w -c ~/Downloads/Cascadia.ttf

...works just the way you'd expect it to. For those of us who can't give up our Powerline prompts even for the moment. :)

[khuongduybui]

On the off chance that you are the only one who successfully did that, can you please publish the patched font somewhere?

[cerebrate]

...let me check what the license permits/requires.

[DHowett-MSFT]

Like Fira, you’ll have to change the name. Everything else is SIL OFL, but the name is trademarked. 😄

[khuongduybui]

Cascadian Code?

[khuongduybui]

Or Cascadia Code Plus Plus?

[cerebrate]

Well, that's simple enough. Delugia Code Nerd Font Complete is here.

Please bear in mind that I know within delta of nothing about font editing, so if this doesn't work for you, I can only recommend that you fire up font-patcher yourself and see how it goes.

(It works great on WSL 2, by the way. 😊)

If the whole nerd fonts does not make it into this, please think about the powerline extra symbols https://github.com/ryanoasis/powerline-extra-symbols.

Fully Nerd Fonts is maybe a little bit big.

This font looks good. I am eagerly wanted to see it support powerline syms.

[RobCannon]

I think a great solution would be to produce 2 or 3 font variations:

CascadiaCode - The basic font
CascadiaCode PL - Add just the PowerLine glyphs
CascadiaCode NF - Add the full set of NerdFont glyphs

That way, anyone concerned about the size can get just what they need.

[rivy]

@khuongduybui @RobCannon , I suggest Cascodia PF and Cascodia NF.
😄

If the extra Powerline glyphs are added, I'd like to see them made a little cleaner in style.

• The Fire could be made simpler

• The "Watercolor" style blocks
  

• And the frozen icicle style design

I figured you could automate downloading and patching the font using GitHub Actions so I had a go and now I have this repository https://github.com/adam7/delugia-code/ which does just that.

@cerebrate I stole your name, let me know if you want me to change it, @RobCannon based on your suggestion I generated a Powerline and a Complete version.

You can grab the patched fonts from the Releases page.

The fonts can be downloaded as Artifacts from the Actions page https://github.com/adam7/delugia-code/actions?workflow=Generate+Fonts

[cerebrate]

@adam7 Nicely done, and you're welcome to the name!

[ryanoasis]

@mdtauk Good suggestions/ideas. Those that I made are a bit kludgy 😊 I really do like the blocks in the window title as well.. very clean

I tried for so long to figure out how to use font patcher via fontForge on windows and just couldn't do it. Thank you so much for this @adam7 . Worked like a dream!

[aaronbell]

All done! :D

[ExE-Boss]

Is this using the default PowerLine symbols, or a custom‑ish design?

Because some of the PowerLine‑extra symbols don’t really fit all that well into Cascadia Code’s design.

[aaronbell]

@ExE-Boss They're pretty much the default ones. Some have been scaled to fit into Cascadia's metrics, but this first round was focused on supporting the glyphs rather than making them "Cascadian". Feel free to file an issue if they look too out of place!

[ScottHutchinson]

All done! :D

What was done? I don't see any PR/merge linked. Where do we get the Cascadia font patched with nerd glyphs?

I'm interested because when I run fontforge -script font-patcher -q --complete /mnt/c/Users/scott/Downloads/CascadiaCode-2009 .22/ttf/CascadiaCode.ttf on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (WSL) I get fontforge: can't open file 'font-patcher': [Errno 2] No such file or directory and I can't find how to fix that. Thanks!

[aaronbell]

@ScottHutchinson see here:
https://github.com/microsoft/cascadia-code/wiki/Installing-Cascadia-Code

We released a separate version called “Cascadia Code PL” that include those symbols. And can be downloaded from the Github release.

[ScottHutchinson]

Also my PowerShell prompt looks like this, which is not as nice as I have on another computer. I'm not sure how to fix it.

[ScottHutchinson]

@aaronbell Thanks I did download that, but thought maybe it did not include all the glyphs, since my prompt doesn't look quite right (see above).

I have "fontFace": "Cascadia Code PL"

[aaronbell]

It looks like you’re getting the right glyphs. How do you expect it to look?

[ScottHutchinson]

Never mind. I guess it's good enough. It looked like this on my old computer that I configured about a year ago. Now if I could just get it to look like that on Ubuntu.
