Nerd Fonts

  • I would like someone else to build the manifest.
  • I would like help so I can submit the manifest.
  • I have performed a search and couldn't find this package.
  • I think there is a new version available and I have provided the URL.

ManifestVersion: 1.0.0

This may be complicated. Nerd Fonts are great for their support of ligatures and many different glyphs, and are widely used for making your terminal fancier. The problem is that instead of providing a single downloader, they break it up into separate zip files for each font, with sets of Windows compatible ttfs and otfs and non-compatible ones within the zip files.

As such, while writing a font installer might not be hard, this brings up whether to provide this as one large installer as Chocolatey does, or provide individual fonts, or if winget should provide the ability to install fonts at all.
