How to get @DevBlackOps Terminal-Icons module working in PowerShell on Windows

Note: since version 0.1.1 of the module this now works in Windows PowerShell or PowerShell Core.

  1. Download and install this version of Literation Mono Nerd Font which has been specifically fixed to be recognised as monospace on Windows:

https://github.com/haasosaurus/nerd-fonts/blob/regen-mono-font-fix/patched-fonts/LiberationMono/complete/Literation%20Mono%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete%20Mono%20Windows%20Compatible.ttf

(see this issue for more info: ryanoasis/nerd-fonts#269)

  1. Modify the registry to add this to the list of fonts for terminal apps (cmd, powershell etc.):
$key = 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Console\TrueTypeFont'
Set-ItemProperty -Path $key -Name '000' -Value 'LiberationMono NF'

  1. Open PowerShell, right click the title bar > properties > Font > select your new font from the list.

  2. Install and load Terminal-Icons:

Install-Module Terminal-Icons -Scope CurrentUser
Import-Module Terminal-Icons
