The guide explains how to add patched “Nerd Fonts” to a Manjaro 21 system by using the AUR helper yay. After updating the system and installing the base‑development tools, you clone and build yay itself, then install any nerd‑fonts‑<family> package (or the meta‑package nerd‑fonts‑complete) from the AUR. Once the font files are placed under /usr/share/fonts/nerd‑fonts, you refresh the font cache with fc-cache -fv and select the new “<Family> Nerd Font” in your terminal emulator, editor, or status bar configuration.
