Request: add Drafting Mono font

[unikitty37]

Requirements

• I have searched the issues for my request and found nothing related and/or helpful
• I have searched the FAQ for help
• I have searched the Wiki for help

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I like Drafting* Mono as it's a monospaced serift font that's easier on the eye than Courier — but I can't use it in my terminal as it doesn't have the Nerd Font characters.

Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like Drafting* Mono to be added to the nerd-fonts repo.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I tried patching it myself using docker run --rm -v $PWD/in:/in:Z -v $PWD/out:/out:Z nerdfonts/patcher --complete, but ended up with missing characters — the first image is Hasklug Nerd Font, the second is my patched version of Drafting* Mono.

Additional context
Drafting* Mono is released under the SIL Open Font Licence, so there shouldn't be any licensing issues.

The font does look interesting, thank you.

The docker-self-patching should have worked, though. 🤔

[Finii]

That branch icon could be E725 or F062C

But when I patch both are in the resulting font file...

Can you check your docker patcher version? If you use the nf-md- icon and the docker image is rather old the icon will not be there ;-)

[Finii]

Added this to

• New fonts and icons proposals #1095

Usually would close this now, but we keeping open because of the patcher problem / missing icons.

[unikitty37]

Hm — docker run --rm nerdfonts/patcher -v just produces this:

Running with options:
 -v
Parallelism 0

which doesn't seem to be quite what we wanted!

󰘬 seems to be F062c in lazygit, which is what the screenshot is taken from.

[unikitty37]

Ah, actually getting it to run the conversion shows the version number, at least!

   Drafting*Mono Nerd Font Light Italic
   \===> '/out/Drafting_MonoNerdFont-LightItalic.otf'

[Finii]

Hmmm, with my test it seems to be there, at least in Regular...

...

[Finii]

You are not using the variable font version?

What's your OS? And terminal?
I would try to uninstall all Drafting* and than install just Regular or Regular and Bold.
Did you select in your terminal the correct font? (i.e. 'Drafting*Mono Nerd Font')

[unikitty37]

I'm not using the variable version of the font.

macOS 14.5 (23F79)
Alacritty 0.13.2 (1) with this .alacritty.toml:

[font]
size = 14
normal = { family = "Drafting*Mono Nerd Font", style = "Regular" }
bold = { family = "Drafting*Mono Nerd Font", style = "Bold" }
italic = { family = "Drafting*Mono Nerd Font", style = "Italic" }
bold_italic = { family = "Drafting*Mono Nerd Font", style = "Bold Italic" }

It turns out that, while Alacritty will happily reread the config file when you change it, and change the font accordingly, if it was already running when you install the Nerd Font version then it just uses the non Nerd Font version (even if you were using Hasklug Nerd Font before!) rather than complaining that it couldn't find the version you specified.

Quitting and restarting Alacritty resolved the problem, so this one looks like user error. Thanks for your help, and sorry for the noise.
