Downloads and installs NerdFonts.
Nerd Fonts is a project that patches developer targeted fonts with a high number of glyphs (icons). Specifically to add a high number of extra glyphs from popular 'iconic fonts' such as Font Awesome, Devicons, Octicons, and others.
This package, by default, installs only "Caskaydia Cove NF" (and "Caskaydia Cove NF Mono"), but supports installing any and all NerdFonts from the release. Note that we specifically use the "Windows Compatible" font files (which have shortened font names), and the name parameter has to match the zip file. Some of the current zip files are named with the reserved font names, rather than the actual name that will show up on the font once it's installed, so there's a bit of a weird mix.
Package parameters
Pass the /name parameter to install one or more specific fonts. However, note that theFor example, to install "Caskaydia Cove Nerd Font" and "FiraCode Nerd Font," use:
choco install nerdfonts -y --params="/name=CascadiaCode FiraCode"
