Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Can you add a optional settings to install Nerd fonts in Linutil. When you open it for the first time and if you don't have them preinstalled you get weird symbols and checkboxes instead.

Describe the solution you'd like
When you run Linutil there could be additional button that says "Install Fonts" and it could list all optional fonts you could install either as a batch or induvidual. Maybe they could be linked with the official website and that's where you would download them from.
https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads

Describe alternatives you've considered
There is a new Flatpak app called Embellish that can install Nerd fonts it could be a option as well
https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.getnf.embellish
