Hi, I have forwarded your account request to bugmeister. I understand your concerns about package size. Perhaps nerdfonts could be split up into individual ports. This request too is best achieved with a bug report. I am not responsible for either port unfortunately.

The nerd-fonts port packages much more than just the symbol fonts, as it carries plenty of patched fonts that I don't use. Perhaps if there were separate nerd-fonts and nerd-fonts-patched packages, the former could be a proper dependency. > -- () ascii ribbon campaign - for an encoding-agnostic world /\ - against html email - against proprietary attachments
