Change `family` to `MesloLGS NF` by following [these](https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/wiki/Changing-the-default-font) instructions.
+- **Alacritty**: Edit or create `~/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml`. Append the `font` section below:
+  ```yaml
+  font:
+    normal:
+      family: "MesloLGS NF"
+      style: Regular
+    bold:
+      family: "MesloLGS NF"

 **IMPORTANT:** Run `p10k configure` after changing terminal font. The old `~/.p10k.zsh` may work
 incorrectly with the new font.
