I’m looking to install nerd fonts for fancy terminal prompts. Unfortunately some of the fonts I tried require long compile steps and tied up my cpu for 15min at 100%.
it installs python, pzip etc and does a lot of things like patching glyphs. I dont even know if these dependencies get removed.
I dont want any of this, just want a precompiled font that is copied to the system. I thought AUR would be the best option but if there’s a faster way I can do that.
You can always just download the fonts and install them manually. For example, I use the AurulentSansMono fonts downloaded from here: https://www.download-free-fonts.com/details/84091/aurulentsansmono-regular. Copy them over to $HOME/.local/share/fonts - this directory may not exist - then run fc-cache -rv.
