Nerd-Fonts – Patched Fonts for Vim

Re: Nerd-Fonts – Patched Fonts for Vim
#22What advantage does this solution have over having a custom font configuration on Linux with fallback support for a font with unique unicode glyph support? In my case, I have Google's Noto font as my main font and have Font Awesome and Emoji One as my fallback fonts and it seems to cover everything. What exactly do these patched fonts do or add?
I totally agree that fallback is the way to go. Unfortunately I couldn't get powerline glyphs to work on my archlinux box, lost patience and just grabbed the droid patched fonts.
I would say that it adds portability, consistency and makes it easier to have glyphs working straight.

#23A reminder to those writing open source READMEs: People coming to your project have probably never heard of it before. Tell us what this is and why, don't bury the lede.
Good point, while in my mind I thought I did do that I have now fixed/improved it to make it more obvious.
Thanks!
Re: Nerd-Fonts – Patched Fonts for Vim
#24It appears to be several popular programming fonts with a bunch of extra glyphs added. Does Vim require special font support, because I'm having a hard time figuring out the point of this. Is this for people who like to put icons into code comments?
Buried at the bottom of the README is the Rationale: > Originally created for use with vim-devicons vim plugin to add glyphs (icons) as labels for files based on the filetype extension or entire path
Thanks, has been refactored to make things more clear from the top
