I started using Vim as my IDE of choice recently, and one of the things I wanted early on was a more visually appealing icon and font set.

I kept reading about Nerd Fonts so I decided to try installing one, but the instructions for doing so were both clear and yet missing some small details that meant that I wasn't able to get set up as quickly as I would've expected.

So here are the literal step-by-step instructions for installing a Nerd Font if you're using the Warp terminal and the Homebrew package manager:

Install Nerd Fonts via Homebrew

• brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
• brew install --cask font-<FONT NAME>-nerd-font

Restart Warp

Restart the terminal and go to Warp > Settings > Appearance. There's a section called 'Text' and a dropdown labelled 'Terminal font'.

Your newly installed Nerd Font from the first step will appear in that list, so you just need to select it.

(If using Neovim/Vim) Restart Neovim/Vim

Once I restarted Neovim, the updated font, along with the associated icons, rendered correctly.
