Lately I've been on a journey to really clean up my dotfiles, and I was completely missing fonts. I noticed jumping into a new vm I had a bunch of broken devicons when using Telescope with the devicons plugins.
This is one of those things that can be a total pain to get right on some systems, and it's so nice when it's just there for you pretty much out of the box.
- make sure your user fonts directory exists
- chech if the font you want exists on your machine
- download and unzip fonts into the fonts directory
- repeat 2-3 for all the fonts you use on your system
- name: ensure fonts directory file: path: "{{ lookup('env', 'HOME') }}/.fonts" state: directory - name: Hack exists shell: "ls {{ lookup('env', 'HOME') }}/.fonts/Hack*Nerd*Font*Complete*" register: hack_exists ignore_errors: yes - name: Download Hack when: hack_exists is failed ansible.builtin.unarchive: src: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/download/v2.1.0/Hack.zip dest: "{{ lookup('env', 'HOME') }}/.fonts/" remote_src: yes
