For a long time, I’ve just put on DejaVu fonts and been done with it. Generally good enough Unicode coverage for me. But I know it’s been years since DejaVu’s been updated, and I wonder what’s very common today.
[As for the terminal, I’m guessing it’s usually still the standard fixed Unicode fonts?]
Right, my apologies I meant to clarify that further - I meant that I needed to use FontPatcher to make it a “nerd font”, so that it has some extra glyphs for various TUIs that utilize them! Somehow I missed that in my original edit, whoops!
