kmallea/font-patcher repository overview

⁠font-patcher

The Dockerfile builds an image that enables you to use the Nerd Fonts font patcher⁠ right now and without the hassle of installing a bunch of dependencies.

⁠Usage

Treat the container like it's a font-patcher executable. For example, to see font-patcher's options, pass -h to it:

docker run kmallea/font-patcher -h

To actually patch a font you'll need to mount it into the container and then tell font-patcher where it is and where to output the patched version.

The following example mounts my current directory into the container at /tmp, and then tells font-patcher to both patch a font and output it to the same directory:

docker run --rm --tty --mount type=bind,src=$PWD,dst=/tmp kmallea/font-patcher --complete --careful --outputdir /tmp /tmp/OperatorMono-Book.otf

NOTE: When using docker run you'll need to allocate the pseudo-TTY using -t or --tty like the example above.

For more information about Nerd Fonts font patcher and how to use it, check out the official documentation⁠.

⁠Building the image
