This major release introduces some breaking changes:
Breaking 1: Naming
This release fixes some long standing issues that are due to the naming of the fonts: There is a completely new naming scheme. This might be inconvientient for existing setups, sorry.
- Some fonts will have `Nerd Font` in the name while other have it abbreviated as `NF`. This is needed because some names just were too long. (Same for `Nerd Font Mono` and `NFM`.)
- There are no `Windows Compatible` fonts anymore. All fonts work on all platforms.
- The `Complete` from the font names (and the repo directories) has been dropped (Complete is the new normal).
- The name parts will be ordered as expected with style and weight last (`Somefont Bold Nerd Font` -> `Somefont Nerd Font Bold`).
- The filename will have no blanks anymore.
Breaking 2: Material Design Icons Codepoints
The old Material Design Icon codepoints are finally dropped. Due to an historic mistake we placed them in between some asiatic glyphs, breaking that script.
Since v2.3.0 the (updated and expanded) Material Design Icons have new codepoints in the 5 digit region.
- Dropped codepoints `F500`... and class names `nf-mdi-*`
- New codepoints `F0001`... and class names `nf-md-*`
- The whole discussions are here: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/issues/365
- A translation table is available here: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/issues/1059#issuecomment-1404891287
- There are tools out there that probably can update your configuration.
