Arch Linux User Repository

I have updated this PKG to v2.1.0: you need to uninstall any previous version(s) as I've done some breaking changes to the PKG. I had to rewrite the PKGBUILD because it was using a different repo/tarball instead of the official one.

• Please note the tarball is around ~2GB (2298M), you may have to download this first using wget https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/archive/v2.1.0.tar.gz as GitHub doesn't offer resume download support.

• See https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/issues/274#issuecomment-605657287 as a possible workaround when dealing with download problems.

This is how one may build this package:

$ cd ~/Downloads (you need ~4GB of space to build)
$ yay --getpkgbuild nerd-fonts-complete (or git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/nerd-fonts-complete.git)
$ cd nerd-fonts-complete
$ wget -O nerd-fonts-2.1.0.tar.gz https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/archive/v2.1.0.tar.gz
$ makepkg -sci BUILDDIR=.

If something is missing and/or broken, please let me know.

I also can't download the tar.gz from Gitlab. Tried it via wget, curl and Firefox but it always gets canceled with a "Read error" around the 2GB mark.

I followed the instructions in the fixed message but I still get the error. Download stops after 1.5 GB and restarts

--2022-04-20 14:53:58--  (try: 3)  https://codeload.github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tar.gz/refs/tags/v2.1.0
- Connection closed at byte 1409643372. Retrying

Is anyone else having problems downloading the v2.1.0.tar.gz file from GitHub? I get about 1.4GB into it and then I get:

Read error at byte 1575634744 (The request is invalid.) Retrying.

The byte at which the error occurs is always different but consistently above 1GB. Any ideas? I tried just downloading the file through a browser, but I have the same problem.

Thanks!

For those complaining that the checksum in the package is wrong, it is not.

Follow francoism90's instructions in the pinned comment and it works fine.

Your aur helper is not downloading the large tar file correctly.

(It happened to me twice before coming here and finding these notes.)

@Spixmaster same for me :/

Could it be that the check sums are wrong? The validation failed two consecutive times for me.

@r00tr4t Get a better AUR helper, aura is out to lunch on that warning. The bash script in question is in the upstream project and creates a false sense of security. Any Makefile or unstall script in upstream sources could also run arbitrary code, there is nothing magically more dangerous about bash install.sh than make install. I suggest paru or yay as upgrades. Or learn to interpret the output yourself.

When I tried to install this font I get:

aura >>= Determining dependencies...

aura >>= WARNING: The PKGBUILD of nerd-fonts-complete contains blacklisted bash expressions.

    bash install.sh --clean --otf --complete

aura >>= bash can be used to execute arbitrary code not tracked by this PKGBUILD.

I was able to use v2.1.0-8 to successfully build and install a package which met starship's dependency on ttf-iosevka-nerd and starship is now working correctly with the emoji icons.

I did have problems with yay being able to successfully download v2.1.0 of nerd-fonts from GitHub. It appears the problem is with curl. It failed on me at ~1.5 GB. I ran makepkg -s which failed at the same point but left the working files in place. I downloaded the file using wget, which hit much higher rates than curl. Once the download was complete, I overwrote the partial file in the working directory with the full version that I downloaded.

I then ran makepkg -s again and it validated the file and completed the build. I then ran makepkg -i to install and afterwards ran pacman -S starship to install starship. Note, I removed starship and ttf-iosevka-nerd prior to starting the build process.

Thanks for getting PKGBUILD updated to support starship's dependency and for the other comments in the thread so that I could put together the above to get it installed.

This is my first foray back on Arch in a long time. I have spent most of the last 10 years in Debian which is fine for the server stuff that I have been working. But I now need a very current reliable desktop and I think Arch will will be the best for me for that.

Looks like the problem lies with starship requiring ttf-iosevka-nerd:

:: removing ttf-iosevka-nerd breaks dependency 'ttf-font-nerd' required by starship

My bad though, not an issue on your end. Thanks for the help.

@Rolv The error seems to be valid? This package already provides ttf-iosevka-nerd, so you should only install nerd-fonts-complete, not both.

@francoism90 Clearing the cache did not seem to fix the issue, I'm still getting the following error:

:: nerd-fonts-complete and ttf-iosevka-nerd are in conflict (nerd-fonts-iosevka). Remove ttf-iosevka-nerd? [y/N]
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: nerd-fonts-complete and ttf-iosevka-nerd are in conflict
 -> exit status 1

@andriperalt @jrabensc Could you please try again? I've added the font to provides as it does seem to include this font. Also note you shouldn't have to install ttf-iosevka-nerd as this PKG already provides it.

To clean caches use, you may try:

paru -Scc
yay -Scc

So I could update following this procedure:

yay -R nerd-fonts-complete
yay -Syu
yay -Syu nerd-fonts-complete

The last one will ask to remove ttf-iosevka-nerd again

Cleaning the cache did not help: ttf-iosevka-nerd and nerd-fonts-complete are in conflict (nerd-fonts-iosevka).

I'm not sure if you need to add ttf-iosevka-nerd, I'm quite new to the AUR.

@jrabensc Make sure to clean the cache. If you build using yay or paru, make sure this is empty before building it.

Edit: I didn't add ttf-iosevka-nerd - should this also be added?

I'm still getting this message: ttf-iosevka-nerd and nerd-fonts-complete are in conflict (nerd-fonts-iosevka). I'm not sure how to proceed here.

@hugepoggers Thanks for the reminder! Sorry for the delay, I've pushed the requested changes. :)

Hey @francoism90, are you still planning on adding the two mentioned values to provides and making a new release?

Ah never mind, I needed to also update the %PROVIDES% entry under /var/lib/pacman/local/nerd-fonts-complete-2.1.0-6/desc. I guess totally removing and reinstalling the package would also update this?

Hi @francoism90, adding those values to the provides array does not solve the issue on my end. Unless I'm missing something?

@nymous @willfindlay @alerque Thanks for reporting. I'll add ttf-font-nerd and ttf-nerd-font to the provides array, hopefully this will solve the issue. :)

@alerque I was wondering if you had any guidance for working around this conflict? I tried manually adding both 'ttf-nerd-font' and 'ttf-font-nerd' to the provides= section of the PKGBUILD, but no success. I also separately tried modifying .SRCINFO in a similar manner, but no luck. Is this something that just has to be fixed upstream?

In answer to @nymous's question, the right place to fix that "conflict" is here. This package needs to provide=('ttf-nerd-font') to be a viable alternative to supply a font wind the nerd glyph set. Any font will do as far as starship is concerned, but it requires at least one. This one can be eligible, but it needs to provide that virtual package name. It can and still should conflict with anything it actually has a file clash for, but people with this package will not be required to install the other.

This particular virtual package requirement is brand new. It has been addressed in official packages, but any AUR packages providing nerd capable fonts need to set this value to be eligible.

Hi!

The latest update of Starship added a dependency on ttf-font-nerd, currently provided by ttf-iosevka-nerd. This package conflicts with nerd-fonts-complete, but I don't know which one should fix it. Should nerd-fonts-complete add a Provides, or starship change its dependency?

Thank you!

Has anyone recently been able to install this?

I have tried using the details in the pinned comment but it fails to pass the validity check.

Using wget to download the tar.gz would not work. I had to download using Firefox and move the tar.gz into the build dir.

I just download it with $ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/nerd-fonts-complete.git and when i did $ makepkg -i after the download i got this

==> Validating source files with sha256sums... fix-installer-font-dir.patch ... Passed nerd-fonts-2.1.0.tar.gz ... FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

@Rojikku @laurentlbm Done, sorry for the delay. I didn't bump the package, you need to rebuild if you need it. :)

Greetings. Could you add https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nerd-fonts-fantasque-sans-mono/ in the list of Provides to resolve a dependency issue?

@MrNessuno You could try another downloader like aria2 or ask for a mirror upstream.

https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/archive/v2.1.0.tar.gz is impossible to download, i tryed 3 times with wget and 2 times with Firefox and it stopped after 1Gb and some MB

@francoism90 you can add a new item to the "provides" list without bumping the pkgrel. It'll take effect for new builds where users really need it, otherwise it will just take effect with the next actual update.

@laurentlbm Thanks, will be added later. One of the issues is people getting a notification for a rebuild, which may be unwanted.

@francoism90 Can you please add nerd-fonts-fantasque-sans-mono to provided=()? Thanks!

I've add the requested fonts to the provided=() array, also added a few others variants. If fonts should be added as well or something else, let me know.

I've the same situation of @hero, with the same package. Will the provides array be added?

Sorry for the delay. I'll add the suggested packages to provides asap. :)

I can't download tarball even with wget, it errors on around 1.05GiB.

I agree with the need for a provides array. Actually, I have been adding it myself for some time.

One important enough is nerd-fonts-terminus. It is required by the default settings of Manjaro (or at least some flavours of it) and so this may help all Manjaro users (or at least a large subset of them) who want to install nerd-fonts-complete.

I second @nmaggioni's request to add the provides-key, if this package truly fully contains ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols.

It should look like this: provides=('ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols')

Longer explanation and example why this is needed:

I have the package all-repository-fonts installed, which depends on ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols. When I wanted to install nerd-fonts-complete with the conflicts-key and without the provides-key, it will not work. This is the case, because nerd-fonts-complete is in conflict with ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols, which means that ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols will be removed when I install nerd-fonts-complete, but this would break the dependency of all-repository-fonts on the package ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols.

With the provides-key the dependency is not broken, because the dependency is fulfilled by nerd-fonts-complete and thus I can install nerd-fonts-complete, which automatically replaces ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols.

@francoism90 Exactly because the conflicting packages provide a subset of the same fonts they should be in the provides array in the PKGBUILD as well. This way those packages don't get abruptly removed, potentially breaking others (in mere terms of dependencies), but instead get replaced by this one and dependants are none the wiser.

My version of LSD was packaged differently than the one currently in the AUR though; disregard that, my bad.

@nmaggioni Shouldn't this package already provide all the needed fonts? Are you sure ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols should be installed alongside this one? I also don't see any conflicts with the linked package, even the dep awesome-terminal-fonts can be installed next to this one.

@merlock Good tip, AUR users can use the same --overwrite flag with any modern helper or when using makepkg.

Like @hero, I had the conflict with ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols. Unlike @nmaggioni, I had no packages depending on it.

Built package,and installed; got the conflict warning, and proceeded.

Got the conflicting files error (/etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-nerd-font-symbols.conf exists in filesystem). Interesting...

Manually removed ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols, and attempted to reinstall.

Guess what? Still got the conflicting files error - it seems that became orphaned...pacfile showed no package owning /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-nerd-font-symbols.conf.

Since I use a custom repository for my AUR stuff, fixing was pretty easy:

sudo pacman -Syu --overwrite /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-nerd-font-symbols.conf

Helper users are on their own. :)

Removing ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols breaks other packages. Since the contents of /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-nerd-font-symbols.conf are still the same in this one, adding provides=('ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols') to the PKGBUILD avoid breakages on my system.

@hero Thanks! I'll add ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols to conflicts. I don't think both packages should be installed as this package should already provide the symbols.

This package in version 2.1.0-4 is conflicting with ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols from the community repo:

$ sudo pacman -Syu nerd-fonts-complete
[...]
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
nerd-fonts-complete: /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-nerd-font-symbols.conf exists in filesystem (owned by ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded

If anyone else has a problem with downloading the file, I uploaded it here https://mega.nz/file/4Ml2ySAA#QwjihnwU0waglPXocRrQ8jtYvXz1mFBmbp08Ux12BQU (version 2.1.0)

@dragonek93 same here, the download stops at about 1.03GB. I've tried twice with wget or aria2.

does this package actually even include the patcher? i couldn't find it anywhere, and the pkgbuild only seems to be copying over the fonts... if it does install the patcher, can someone tell me where it's installed to? if not, consider removing from package description?

For those who face curl errors: I have been able to work around this by making a (shallow) clone of the git repository instead. Below is my patch.

I've moved them to makedep, let me know if this change should be revert.

It addition to xorg-font-utils, the fontconfig dependency also needs to be removed.

xorg-font-utils no longer in repos. PKGBUILD needs re-work.

@francoism90

I have put back the scripts, please report back if it works OK now. :)

All is well now. Thanks for the quick fix.

@francoism90

Please try adjusting your aria2 settings and download again

Tried many already, all fail. aria2 supports resumed downloads by default.

@pepper_chico I don't have any problems downloading, maybe because I don't use any helper. Please try adjusting your aria2 settings and download again. The previous tarball URL wasn't using the official one, I don't recommend using any different repo than the official one.

@podiki @all I have changed back the path to /usr/share/fonts/nerd-fonts-complete/ and fixed the typo's, sorry for that! The font cache should automatically update nowadays, that's why I didn't include the .install anymore. Please try and report back if the problems are gone.

@ruro Thanks for reporting it. I have put back the scripts, please report back if it works OK now. :)

@francoism90

yay uses curl with resume support and fails. I've attempted download from github url many times with aria2c, which imo is one of the best download manager for resuming, it simply doesn't work. I'm not trying another. Notice that this problem is also referred on upstream issue tracker:

• https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/issues/274

From what I can see github isn't behaving well for this kind of download, so your update to the package is breaking installations due to relying on broken service, that works on your machine, but not on others.

Paths have changed (purposefully?):

1. install changed to /usr/share/fonts/nerd-fonts from /usr/share/tons/nerd-fonts-complete

2. typo of TTF becoming TFF

Not sure if this caused issues with fonts not being found, though would think it shouldn't matter. Could be on my end with some cache not being updated (for stumpwm, Lisp). Update: yes, had to update ttf cache for clx-truetype/xft

@francoism90 They are needed to avoid hardcoding specific codepoints for the glyphs https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/wiki/Icon-Names-in-Shell

Also, https://www.hyrumslaw.com/ and you just broke my shell & vim lol

@ruro I did remove the scripts from the installer.. are they needed and why? If so, I can put them back. :)

@pepper_chico Weird, it downloads fine for me over here, on 30 mbits it should take over 15 min. I really recommend to grab the official repo tarball or try an other download manager if it keeps failing.

@francoism90 The scripts in bin/scripts/lib/ (i_all.sh, i_dev.sh, i_fa.sh, etc) used to be installed under /usr/lib/nerd-fonts-complete/* now they are apparently not installed at all?

@mckean, I did already have tried aria2c for resuming, it didn't work either (with aria2c, once it fails, it starts from beginning, and keeps looping). I'm on 30MB connection, download speed is on limit of my connection.

@pepper_chico this seems to happen due to timeouts on githubs end. But I guess it's not optimal to download a 2.4 GB file when you might actually just need a fraction. To work around your issue find a server where you can download the file quickly from github, then change the url in the pkg build file. Or try using a download manager (the download accepts ranges, so resuming should be possible) (https://codeload.github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tar.gz/v2.1.0) Good luck!

PKG v2.1.0 update (with yay) messed up my icons and they are no longer working. The spacing has messed up. Please revert to 2.0.0-5 version.

After last update I can't upgrade this package anymore, always getting:

curl: (18) transfer closed with 1304011402 bytes remaining to read
==> ERROR: Failure while downloading https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/archive/v2.1.0.tar.gz

It always fails after having downloaded around 1GB, then afterwards it's unable to resume:

I have updated this PKG to v2.1.0: you need to uninstall any previous version(s) as I've done some breaking changes to the PKG. I had to rewrite the PKGBUILD because it was using a different repo/tarball instead of the official one.

• Please note the tarball is around ~2GB (2298M), you may have to download this first using wget https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/archive/v2.1.0.tar.gz as GitHub doesn't offer resume download support.

• See https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/issues/274#issuecomment-605657287 as a possible workaround when dealing with download problems.

This is how one may build this package:

$ cd ~/Downloads (you need ~4GB of space to build)
$ yay --getpkgbuild nerd-fonts-complete (or git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/nerd-fonts-complete.git)
$ cd nerd-fonts-complete
$ wget -O nerd-fonts-2.1.0.tar.gz https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/archive/v2.1.0.tar.gz
$ makepkg -sci BUILDDIR=.

If something is missing and/or broken, please let me know.

can u update this package ?

Just as a head up, I'm looking into how to repackage this so that it's not dependent upon my GitLab project.

@LysanderAkili i_fa.sh is included

As @wknapik said, I ran into a sha256sum failure on LICENSE. This is because I'm using SRCDEST which stores all source data in a common directory. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg#Package_output

It's required that each downloaded source filename be unique among all packages, because SRCDEST is a supported option. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PKGBUILD#source

I must have installed another package that doesn't make its LICENSE unique, so I'll need to track that down.

@thyeun: which problems can be faced with fonts? What's the interest to sign them?

Just asking.

There are three way to finish this installation.

1st - using gpg --recv-keys 9894426FA740B074 than modify the PKGBUILD with validpgpkeys= , take your own risk

2nd - manually finish the installation with makepkg -s --skippgpcheck than follow with sudo pacman -U nerd-fonts-complete-*.pkg.tar.xz , take your own risk.

3rd - Sit and wait for the Maintainer to make change on the PKGBUILD.

so all depend which one you prefer.

Hello.

Either provide a validpgpkeys= line in PKGBUILD or remove .asc file. This is breaking package building. Thanks.

Why have you changed the PGP key? This one is not trusted...

I believe I've squashed the remaining bugs in the PKGBUILD as of release 4. If anything else is breaking, try cleanbuilding the package.

Still broken? Report it here!

@SuperBo @postblue

I opted to "install" the release locally with a few helper scripts and compress it. I've managed to reduce the download to a mere 350M while retaining all of the upstream v2.0.0 fonts:

15:17:00-0600 grendel@aether:/home/grendel/Git/pkgbuilds/nerd-fonts-complete
 + find pkg/nerd-fonts-complete/usr/share/fonts/nerd-fonts-complete/ -name *.otf -o -name *.ttf | wc -l
1194

I have plans to change the way they package releases upstream so that we're not relying on an external repository. In the interim though, I think this is a reasonable way to handle (re)packaging the release for ArchLinux users.

Here's the GitLab repository: https://gitlab.com/devopsdeluxe/nerd-fonts-aur

@Terence

In the latest release I've added those scripts. Let me know if you need anything changed!

@devopsdeluxe could you make the package download each font files separately by using wget. Downloading the whole github package is wasteful and not necessary.

@SuperBo I'll look into a programmatic way of scraping all those files. I don't see any particularly obvious solution, so it may take me some time to get things squared away.

Downloading the zip file for each font is also wasteful, I think we don't need Windows version of those fonts in 'zip' package.

It is significantly less data intensive (~3x smaller footprint). I could switch to that in the interim. However from the limited amount of testing I was able to do, I lost some glyphs when only downloading the assets from the release page.

@postblue it now includes material design icons. @devopsdeluxe would it be possible to include scripts needed for https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts#icon-names-in-shell?

I don't see a problem with it.

p/s: my current internet connection is shit, can not test my method right now :'(

The 2.0.0 package weights ~1722 MiB, is that normal? What happened?

I've updated the package.

Consider this a placeholder upgrade for now because there are some changes I want to see upstream... It seems like there are fonts missing from the assets when you query them (missing glyphs (the symbols and whatnot)):

I've opted to download the full 2GB package in the meantime. If I can't get anything pushed upstream (better installer / all fonts in listed in the release assets) I'll make a trimmed down package: nerd-fonts-release that contains only the font assets linked in a release.

@SuperBo

Proposed patch for v2.0.0: https://gitlab.com/snippets/1718407

@mchwalisz. Maybe I will switch back to old method which is including sepearate link to each font file to prevent oversize download

The versioning is causing problems; missing glyphs etc. I would fix if I was not intimidated. In the meantime, I suggest using one of the single font packages that are updated to 2.0, and use them as fallback font for the glyphs.

Version 2.0 has been released on April 2nd: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/tag/v2.0.0

First, I don't think this package is out of date just yet. On github v2.0.0 is marked as pre-release not latest stable.

I also agree 2GB download is kinda big, even if I have good download. Looking at the source code, it has everything. The other approach (much more manual) would be to download only relevant files (we probably don't need Windows versions).

Hacking into install script https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/blob/master/install.sh might be a good idea.

Hi @all,

I had a problem with the new version 2.0.0 source code because of its size. The size is 2GB. With my slow Internet connection, it cost me more than 20 mins to download the source code. I think my current method to install this package is not appropriate anymore. Right now, I am a little bit busy with my work and study, so I don't have time to think and change to a new installing method. Therefore, I decided to not upgrade this package to the latest version 2.0.0. If you guys have any idea or suggest, please let me know.

Best

glider

@raith yep sorry my bad, then it would be suitable to have it in /usr/share/fonts/NerdFonts then.

Please do not put files into /home in a package [1]. It is a no-go zone for a package manager.

@Superbo @glider could you please make use of https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/blob/master/10-nerd-font-symbols.conf (put it in /etc/fonts/conf.avail) and put the content of https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/tree/master/bin/scripts/lib/ to ~/.local/share/fonts ?
