#34 A nerd font can bring more happiness to the terminal or the editor

As we spend more time in our editors, it might be nice to get a nerd font activated. It makes your (coding) life just a little bit more beautiful. It uses ligatures to combine two characters into a single glyph:

// check the JS fat arrow:
let x = (a, b) => a + b

// and these:
if(a >= b && b <= c){
  a += 4
}

// it even changes www
let link = "www.google.com";

My blog uses the excellent Fira Code:

On my terminal I use CaskadiaCove, a patched version of Microsoft's CascadiaCode.

The Nerd Fonts project has an excellent overview of fonts for you to download and install:
