Auto‑installing common fonts via Chocolatey #619

What is the request?

Theme installs don’t include the fonts they depend on, which causes misaligned widgets and missing icons.

Why is it useful?

Many themes rely on Nerd Fonts or other patched fonts. Without them, themes look broken. Auto‑installing or prompting to install common fonts would greatly improve the setup experience.

Some of these fonts are already available on Chocolatey and Scoop, making installation easy:
https://community.chocolatey.org/packages?q=font
https://scoop.sh/#/apps?q=font

Edit:
I also found an alternative installations methods that doesn’t require Chocolatey or Scoop:

How could it be implemented?
