## Synopsis
[Nerd Font Patcher](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts#font-patcher) is a command line script to generate patched nerd fonts.
The option `--complete` adds all symbols.
```
fontforge --script ./font-patcher --complete path/to/font
```
## Install Dependencies in macOS
```
brew install fontforge
```
The script `font-patcher` starts with a shebang `#!usr/bin/env python`. Just change it to python3.
Use system python since the dependencies are installed for system python.
## Usage
LunarVim provides a [list of used icons](https://github.com/LunarVim/LunarVim/blob/rolling/lua/lvim/icons.lua). It's a good reference to choose the proper icons.
