When you first install LazyVim, it does not come with any icons. You may notice a screen like this during the installation?
There are no icons!
Luckily this is a simple fix.
Make sure you have Homebrew installed before proceeding.
We’ll be using Nerdfont to fix this. Keep in mind this will change your font in LazyVim.
There are many different fonts to choose from. To see a list run the following command:
brew search font- | grep nerd-font
Experiment with different fonts to find the best one for you. In this example we’ll go with the Mononoki Nerdfont.
# brew install --cask <font-name>
brew install --cask font-mononoki-nerd-font
Once that’s done, open your editor such as iTerm2 -> Preferences(cmd+,) -> Profiles -> Text -> Font -> Search for Mononoki.
More than one will show up. Let’s try using Mononoki Nerd Font or whatever other you one like.
Simply pick it and the font will instantly update in your editor.
Ahh, much better!
