Originally created by @isaacrlevin on GitHub (Aug 13, 2019).

I know the font will have it's own repo, but wanted to track this feature here until that repo is available. :)

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Have glyph functionality in Cascadia code (similar to UbuntuMono for instance)

Existing Cascadia Code Font

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Cascadia Code Font would leverage existing OSS glyph source (like Nerd Fonts)

Given that all characters represented in a font are glyphs, we'll need to break these out into more specific issues about exactly which glyphs (and hopefully the codepoints to which they should be attached) you want us to support.

I’ve opened #2437 for adding PowerLine symbols.

If somebody can find a good informative source on what these glyphs should be, how they should look, etc. I'd love to port this to the font repo once it's live. Otherwise, this isn't really actionable?

@DHowett-MSFT Does this satisfy what you are looking for?

https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts#glyph-sets

If you look at option 8

Option 8: Patch Your Own Font
The option for patching your own font or fully customizing the patched font.
Use the provided Python command line script to generate a patched font from your own font to get the extra new glyphs

In an ideal world, part of the Open Source process for Cascadia Code, would include a tool/web app, which would allow people to submit glyph suggestions (with visual examples or even a "build your own glyph" tool based on maybe a 16px grid - which the font design team could then look at, evaluate, and decide on.

@ExE-Boss I see #2437 was closed in favor of this ticket, yet the comments here aren't 100% clear on whether the powerline glyphs were added. Do you know if they were?

Hmm, according to this open ticket, it would seem not :/

@bdw429s I’ve been subscribed to microsoft/cascadia-code#10 since the font’s public beta was released.
