There are two packages in the archLinux repository that provide patched font JetBrains Mono.

Compared to the version of archlinuxcn source, the version of extra source is more recent.

Are there any considerations when choosing the version of archlinuxcn source ?

Use extra/ttf-jetbrains-mono-nerd 3.0.2-1.

aur/nerd-fonts-jetbrains-mono-160 is out of date in your output info. And nerd-font has been released to v3

[popjdh]

According to the release information of v3, it seems that there are some code point changes on characters after v2.3.0 The version of archlinuxcn source is the previous version.

It is unclear whether the author chose an earlier version due to this change.

nvimdots has been upgraded nerd-font to v3, see #447 for more information.

Edited. I'm using Gentoo now so the arch package is updated infrequently. Please feel free to open more discussions if you find any out-of-date info in wiki 👍 . I will update them.

@kang8 Thank you😊. I forgot to check the relevant information of the release and only saw the content of the wiki.
