It looks like there's a few glyphs being used in this application (things like folder icons, etc) that normal fonts aren't going to provide.

Ah - I'm not asking what it's for, I'm asking why isn't it optional. First time I've seen TUI software require installing a font.

Yes that's a fair call. I don't really have an opinion in the matter as I am not interested in using this tool, but your question is a fair one.

it's not technically required to function properly, just listed as a prerequisite since several glyphs require a nerd font :) you can go ahead and think of it as optional if you'd like.

what, your terminal doesn't have Unicode support?
