Hi Yasu,

I don't think it'll be so simple.  It appears, that nerd-fonts already
includes – or at least has the potential to include – some non-free
glyphs, which would in turn then be part of Cascadia.  An instance
would be pomicons [1], which are licensed as CC BY-NC-ND.  A reviewer
would first have to verify, that Cascadia is indeed wholly covered
under the OFL or at least under a set of free licenses.

Yes, it sucks having to put that much effort into packaging a font, but
if you just want to have a workable font for programming, there are
probably better solutions than Cascadia, some of which are already
packaged in Guix – e.g. font-fira-code.

Regards,
Leo

Thank you for your comments!

Because I don't have a lot of time, is it ok to just re-format the
original submission, get it committed with the comment that the
package needs to be compiled rather than copied, when someone (or I)
wants to so properly?

Cheers,
Yasu

Hello Vincent,

there is no .tar of the fonts however, that's a source tarball
generated by github.  To be fair, one should probably build this
font
(and other fonts) from source instead.  In particular, we might
want to
package nerd-fonts[1] first, since Cascadia appears to be an
iteration
of it.
