After getting a decent KDE system working (QEMU VM), I tried installing an Xfce system. Using the same main config, I removed the KDE-specific settings and replaced them with Xfce ones. The system seemed to install fine, but…
One package - nerdfonts - is only installing (1) font set: Fira Code. I’ve tried reinstalling the nerdfonts package, but I’m only seeing it grab the Fira Code fonts. When I upgrade my KDE system yesterday, there was no changes to the installed fonts.

Everything else is working fine, it’s just the nerdfonts package. Is there another set of packages I need to install on Xfce? I haven’t yet added any Xfce-specific package, so this is a very stripped-down system.
