I enquired and I was told in no uncertain terms that the license forbids patching. This means that you cannot use the popular Nerd Fonts [1] patch set for adding missing glyphs. I hope that will change as I would like to use this typeface.

That's quite disappointing. As a Neovim user, I depend on nerd fonts for icons. Does the license forbid patching even for personal use? Or is it only forbidden to re-distribute the patched font, by using it on a website for example?

I'm not familiar with Nerd Fonts; is there a reason that font-fallback can't be used for missing glyphs?
