Drops our custom monospace font diff from upstream GNOME by replacing JetBrains Mono with the nerd-fonts-patched build of GNOME's own Adwaita Mono, preserving Nerd Font icon support in terminals.

Changes

  • Containerfile: Add xz to the Alpine build deps; download and extract AdwaitaMono.tar.xz from nerd-fonts v3.4.0 into usr/share/fonts/AdwaitaMono/ in the shared system layer
  • zz0-bluefin-modifications.gschema.override: Swap monospace-font-name:
    -monospace-font-name="JetBrains Mono 16"
    +monospace-font-name="AdwaitaMono Nerd Font Mono 13"
    Uses the Mono (single-width) variant; size 13 is closer to GNOME defaults than the previous 16.
