### OTHER FONTS
You can type in quotes any other Nerd Font from
[ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/)
that has **.zip** extension.
## HOW DOES IT WORK
For example, if I want to get `Hack` Nerd Font, name of it on
[ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/)
is `Hack.zip`.
You just pass it's name _without_ **.zip**, `Hack`, like this:
```bash
nerd_font_name="Hack" bash <(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/monoira/nefoin/main/install.sh)
```
And [install.sh](./install.sh) will automatically download, unzip and move
it's contents to your systems fonts directory.
On MacOS:
`$HOME/Library/Fonts`
On Linux:
`$HOME/.local/share/fonts`
If that directory doesn't exist, [install.sh](./install.sh) will create it.
[install.sh](./install.sh) also checks via `grep` if you already have font with
similar name and prompts you for installation confirmation if you do.
This way chance of you downloading same Nerd Font twice is lower.
There is no residual files left either.
No manual download or cloning required.
It just works.
## WHY SHOULD I USE THIS OVER getnf/getnf
1. Faster -- Less Is More if you just want 1 or 2 fonts.
1. Simpler to Use.
1. Simpler to Automate.
1. Simpler to understand the code,
it's literally one `~100` line file at [install.sh](./install.sh).
You can even fork it and use it for your own purposes.
1. [getnf](https://github.com/getnf/getnf) is licensed under GPL-3.0 license,
which means that you can't use it's code in closed source,
non-GPL licensed project since it uses GPL-3.0 license,
which requires derivative works to also be open-source
under the **same** license.
This is **NOT** to hate on Richard Stallman or GPL licenses.
Just listing one of pro's for _you_.
