Ability to use nerdfonts.

Feature Request
It would be really nice if we can use Nerd Fonts for different symbols and characters in the prompt and if it's possible then I would like to work on this feature.
Font rendering is handled by terminal emulator. Installing nerd-fonts and configuring it with required SPACEFISH_*_SYMBOL would normally work. Did you face issues with using nerd-fonts with spacefish ? Make sure to use the symbol codes.
That's correct.
If you are using fish, you can print Nerd Font symbols like so:
echo \uf898 # Prints the Node.js symbolYou can then customize the symbols that spacefish uses by customizing the variables associated to the symbols being printed. You can see a list of those options here: https://spacefish.matchai.me/docs/Options.html
@matchai I am asking for ability to switch between nerd fonts and other font like the bobthefish theme has option to switch from patched powerline fonts to nerd fonts by using the configuration variable set -g theme_nerd_fonts yes in config.fish.
Isn't that doing the same behind the screen ? How is that different from allowing the user to configure each symbol ?
Spacefish aims to achieve feature-parity with spaceship-prompt, the original prompt that this is a port of. I suggest new feature proposals be made at the spaceship repo, so that we can port it to spacefish when it gets approved. 🙂
For the time being, you can use the existing configuration options to customize your prompt to match the symbols used in bobthefish:

Thanks @matchai I can pitch my idea there.
