ryanoasis/nerd-fonts v3.0.0

on GitHub

This major release introduces some breaking changes:

Breaking 1: Naming

This release fixes some long standing issues that are due to the naming of the fonts: There is a completely new naming scheme. This might be inconvientient for existing setups, sorry.

• Some fonts will have Nerd Font in the name while other have it abbreviated as NF. This is needed because some names just were too long. (Same for Nerd Font Mono and NFM.)
• There are no Windows Compatible fonts anymore. All fonts work on all platforms.
• The Complete from the font names (and the repo directories) has been dropped (Complete is the new normal).
• The name parts will be ordered as expected with style and weight last (Somefont Bold Nerd Font -> Somefont Nerd Font Bold).
• The filename will have no blanks anymore.

Breaking 2: Material Design Icons Codepoints

The old Material Design Icon codepoints are finally dropped. Due to an historic mistace we placed them in between some asiatic glyphs, breaking that script.
Since v2.3.0 the (updated and expanded) Material Design Icons have new codepoints in the 5 digit region.

• Dropped codepoints F500... and class names nf-mdi-*
• New codepoints F0001... and class names nf-md-* (already since v2.3.0)
• The whole discussions are here: #365
• A translation table is available here: #1059 (comment)
• There are tools out there that probably can update your configuration.
• Relevant thread: #1190
