This page catalogs every icon/glyph collection embedded in Nerd Fonts patched fonts: their upstream sources, versions, licenses, Unicode codepoint ranges, CSS class prefixes, and font-patcher CLI flags.

For information on how glyph sets are stored in the repository and how to add a new one, see Glyph Management (3) and Adding New Icon Sets (3.3). For how the font patcher selects which glyph sets to embed at patching time, see Patching Options (2.2). For the CSS naming convention used in web integration, see CSS Classes and Usage (5.1).

Overview

Nerd Fonts aggregates 14 upstream icon sets plus a set of original/custom glyphs, combining to over 10,000 glyphs. All glyphs are placed in the Unicode Private Use Area (PUA) or in pre-assigned Unicode ranges (Braille, IEC Power Symbols). The glyph source files live in src/glyphs/.

Glyph Set Reference Table

The table below covers all included sets. Codepoint ranges marked with ~ are approximate based on the current glyphnames.json and css/nerd-fonts-generated.css; the full authoritative mapping is in glyphnames.json.

Default vs. Optional Sets

When font-patcher is invoked without any symbol set flags, only two sets are embedded:

• Seti-UI + Custom (nf-custom-*)
• Devicons (nf-dev-*)

All other sets require an explicit flag or --complete / -c to include all sets at once.

# Minimal patch (default sets only):
fontforge -script font-patcher MyFont.ttf

# Add Font Awesome only:
fontforge -script font-patcher MyFont.ttf --fontawesome

# Add everything:
fontforge -script font-patcher MyFont.ttf --complete

Source File Organization

Diagram: Source Files in src/glyphs/ and Their Relationship to Icon Sets

Note: The file names above for the glyph source .ttf/.otf files are representative; the canonical list of files is maintained in src/glyphs/. The original-source.otf file is the only one generated from within the repo.

Glyph Name Format

Every glyph in the combined set is identified by a name of the form:

{prefix}-{icon_name}

For example: cod-terminal, dev-git, nf-fa-star, nf-md-home.

The complete name-to-codepoint mapping is stored in glyphnames.json. Each entry has the form:

The code field is the hexadecimal codepoint. The CSS classes in css/nerd-fonts-generated.css follow the pattern .nf-{prefix}-{icon_name}:before { content: "\{code}"; }.
