desktop-fonts

Recipe card from the charly-selkies plugin (Images — the deployable catalog).

desktop-fonts – JetBrains Mono + Nerd Fonts

Candy Properties

Property	Value
Dependencies	none
Service	none
Install files	`charly.yml` only

Packages

jetbrains-mono-fonts (RPM) – monospace coding font
liberation-fonts (RPM) – serif/sans/mono web fonts (Chrome rendering fallback)
nerd-fonts (RPM, via che/nerd-fonts COPR) – icon font (Symbols Nerd Font)

Fedora 43 package-name note: liberation-fonts is a virtual package — dnf resolves it to liberation-sans-fonts (and sibling -serif-fonts / -mono-fonts packages). Any package: test must query the real installed name (liberation-sans-fonts), not the dnf-level request. See /charly-check:check Authoring Gotcha #8.

Usage

Included in desktop metalayers. Not typically added directly:

# Already part of sway-desktop and selkies-desktop metalayers
