MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ttf-font-nerd-dummy [2]:

Dummy packages are not allowed on AUR.

Referred request got rejected 3 days ago:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/74050

[community]/[starship] requires a Nerd Font installed,
see: https://starship.rs/#prerequisites

The mentioned case in point for the need of a nerd-font-dummy
package was to let users install [starship] on headless
machines without the required fonts.

Guess what: [starship] is a smart client-side prompt addon
for terminal *clients*.

Solution to the headless server problem: don't install
[starship] on it, it does not provide any useful feature
in such environments.
