## What it is
|
|
|
|
Noto is a font family from Google that aims to cover every script in Unicode, so text in any language shows up instead of as empty boxes. noto-fonts-emoji adds Noto Color Emoji, the full set of color emoji. ttf-nerd-fonts-symbols adds the Nerd Fonts symbols: icons for files, folders, Git and programming languages that terminal tools draw with.
|
|
|
|
## Why it's here
|
|
|
|
- **No empty boxes.** Web pages and documents in any language display properly.
|
|
- **Emoji everywhere.** In chats, mail and the terminal.
|
|
- **Icons in the terminal.** The starship prompt and the `ls` aliases use them.
|
|
|
|
## On CoreDesktop
|
|
|
|
CoreDesktop installs all three packages from pacman. Nothing needs setting up: apps pick the fonts up automatically, and the icons show in the starship prompt and in `ls`, `ll`, `la` and `lt`, which run eza with icons, as described in the [shell setup](/system/#shell). `update` keeps them current.
