How to install a Nerd Font on Warp

24 Sep 2024 — 1 min read

I started using Vim as my IDE of choice recently, and one of the things I wanted early on was a more visually appealing icon and font set.

I kept reading about Nerd Fonts so I decided to try installing one, but the instructions for doing so were both clear and yet missing some small details that meant that I wasn't able to get set up as quickly as I would've expected.

So here are the literal step-by-step instructions for installing a Nerd Font if you're using the Warp terminal and the Homebrew package manager:

Install Nerd Fonts via Homebrew

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts brew install --cask font-<FONT NAME>-nerd-font

Restart Warp

Restart the terminal and go to Warp > Settings > Appearance. There's a section called 'Text' and a dropdown labelled 'Terminal font'.

Your newly installed Nerd Font from the first step will appear in that list, so you just need to select it.

(If using Neovim/Vim) Restart Neovim/Vim

Once I restarted Neovim, the updated font, along with the associated icons, rendered correctly.

It's not uncommon that I sometimes write if statements where the overall conditional is true when both conditions are true or both are false. As an example, let's say I'm validating input from an API call where I'm updating information on a
