DroidSansM Nerd Font (Droid Sans Mono) is a font you can install on a Mac.

About

DroidSansM Nerd Font is based on Droid Sans Mono and includes additional Nerd Font glyphs. This cask installs three regular OTF files: DroidSansMNerdFont-Regular.otf, DroidSansMNerdFontMono-Regular.otf, and DroidSansMNerdFontPropo-Regular.otf.

The files provide a regular font, a version with monospaced Nerd Font glyphs, and a version with proportional Nerd Font glyphs. Nerd Fonts adds icon glyphs from collections such as Font Awesome, Material Design Icons, Octicons, and Devicons to developer-oriented fonts. The monospaced or proportional designation applies to the added glyphs and does not necessarily describe every character in the font.

Install the font files with brew install --cask font-droid-sans-mono-nerd-font. This installs fonts, not an application. To use them, open your editor or terminal’s font settings and select an installed font. Choose the monospaced or proportional file where appropriate. The displayed font name can vary by application.

The cask installs only these three files, not a complete set of weight or style variants.
