Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Using bitmap fonts is sometimes unacceptable, but there is no easy way of learning which ones are shipped in vector format.

Describe the solution you'd like

I think that both README and the website should have some sort of labels marking the fonts that are vector as opposed to bitmap.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Manually iterating over all the font files in the repo.

Additional context

I use Kitty terminal emulator. It features GPU rendering, letting it display things smoothly. As a side effect, it needs vector fonts as a hard requirement — the bitmap ones are unsupported: kovidgoyal/kitty#807 (comment).
This issue should probably be mentioned @ https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/wiki/Terminal-Emulators.

I had the impression all fonts have contours (albeit I believe with some I though: How bad can auto-vectorization be?), but some have bitmaps additionally. Which is 'new', previous Nerd Font releases dropped the bitmaps in the fonts.

• font-patcher: Preserve existing bitmaps #939

Do you have an example?

Which Nerd Fonts released font does not have outline (vector) glyphs?
All symbols are outlines anyhow.

I do not get what the problem is. Labeling vector fonts means: all fonts. What would be the benefit?

Please reopen if you see need.

Ah, I didn't realize that. Maybe I got confused. If I stumble upon a specific example, I'll let you know.
