Make Nerd fonts work with the Chromebook terminal

Here is a too complicated hack to make Nerd fonts work on the Chromebook terminal. There should be an easier way. Please tell me if you find it.

First we need a CORS compliant web server to fetch the font. I didn't want to have to be online to use the terminal so I'm going to run the server locally. Fetch the server.py file (below) and save it to your linux environment. I put it in ~/hacks/nerdfont/server.py. This little script adds the CORS headers to the python3 http server. It will only serve files from the current folder.

In my ~/.bashrc I added these lines:

# make the nerdfont available to the chromebook terminal

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	# http://papers.ch/speeding-up-your-mac-osx-terminal-input/

	#echo "Disable press-and-hold for keys in favor of key repeat"
	#defaults write NSGlobalDomain ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false

	echo "Set a blazingly fast keyboard repeat rate"

	defaults write NSGlobalDomain KeyRepeat -int 2
