I thought it might be nice to put that file in the release along with the TTFs. This would have the benefit of allowing packagers to ensure that the fallback works on their distro, and allowing users to more easily select between the two font variants.
Installing my distro (Tumbleweed) package of the symbols-only Nerd Font, installs both TTFs, without any configuration, as per the release. The distro default config is good, and fallback immediately works. However, fontconfig prefers the monospaced variant unless directed otherwise, such as by the abovementioned config file. It's nice to have the full experience, out of the box. For now, I get there with:
Of course the third-party package maintainer would need to install the fontconf into the appropriate directory.
But at least it is now in the release packages (of NerdFontsSymbolsOnly).
Requirements
Problem Description

So this is not too hard to deal with, but it would be nice if it "just works" :)
Thanks for an excellent font!
