If you're like me, you want to use Nerd Fonts for your editor and the terminal. If you use a terminal based editor like neovim or emacs, then you need that configued on your terminal emulator. But if you're using Chrome OS, which is more locked down than other desktop OS, then the usually simple task of installing these font and using them isn't as straightforward.
I have used the workaround to achieve this task. There is no guarantee it will continue to work in futuere versions. It depends on whether the old terminal settings page isn't removed from the app bundle and if the app doesn't stop loading the old config. As of Chrome OS 113, it is still working.
