@Scrumplex could you test this please: https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/blob/bugfix-fontconfig/10-nerd-font-symbols.conf

Just fixed the obvious errors, never used a fontconfig 😬

It does not make any sense to produce Symbols Nerd Font Mono, right?

$ fc-query --format='%{family}\n' ../../patched-fonts/NerdFontsSymbolsOnly/complete/Symbols*
Symbols Nerd Font Mono
Symbols NFM
Symbols Nerd Font
Symbols NF
Symbols Nerd Font Mono
Symbols NFM
Symbols Nerd Font
Symbols NF

Or does it? 🤔

Anyhow, the fontconfig prescribes the non-mono substitute.

... ?

Edit: Change formatting to make question less misunderstandable

This seems to work fine 👍

I don't think we need to produce the Mono version, but I guess it doesn't hurt? Arch Linux packages both the Mono versions: https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols

Where I read this ... just realized that it is a real Arch package and not an AUR, that explains something... 🤦‍♀️

If there are people who see value in that fonts... great :-) Thanks for the feedback!
