mamelon-nix

mamelon-nix is simply Mamelon (an amazing Japanese font with rounded characters) packaged for nix.
Before anyone points out that there is a PR open for this exact font here is the PR in question...by me: #343995
All credit goes to the original creator of Mamelon. I highly reccomend checking out his/her other fonts over at: moji-waku. I might package some of the other ones as well.

DISCLAIMER: The version and license I set in package.nix are most likely wrong, if you happen to know the correct version/license please do open a PR or email me.

Installation

NixOS

# flake.nix
{
  inputs.mamelon = {
    url = "github:elias-ainsworth/mamelon-nix";
    inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs"; # override this repo's nixpkgs snapshot
  };
}

Then, include it in your environment.systemPackages or home.packages by referencing the input:

inputs.mamelon.packages.${pkgs.system}.default

Usage

Declare Mamelon as your font wherever you need it (I don't really have to elaborate here...right?).

Tip

When calling the font when declared elsewhere in your nix config via string interpolation it might be best to add quotes when calling it in something like a waybar configuration as font-config lists the font name wierdly... For example: Suppose you have your font declared like this:

  ...
  options.custom = with lib; {
    fonts = {
      regular = mkOption {
        type = types.str;
        default = "Mamelon";
        # default = "Iosevka Nerd Font Propo";
        description = "The font to use for regular text";
      };
      ...
    };
    ...
  };

If you do not declare your waybar font as such:

  baseModuleCss = ''
    font-family: "${config.custom.fonts.regular}";
    ...
  ''

and skip out on the double quotes around ${config.custom.fonts.regular}, font-family gets set as

font-family: Mamelon,マメロン,Mamelon 3 Hi,マメロン 3 Hi Regular,荽莁莍莓

and of course it scares waybar shitless.
