Yes; normally after installing new fonts (or modifying existing ones) you just need to run "fc-cache" (normally with no arguments) as your user. No need to even log out. You can also put font files obtained from outside of Debian into $HOME/.local/share/fonts/, e.g. $ tree ~/.local/share/fonts /home/andy/.local/share/fonts ├── CommitMono │ ├── CommitMonoNerdFont-BoldItalic.otf │ ├── CommitMonoNerdFont-Bold.otf │ ├── CommitMonoNerdFont-Italic.otf │ ├── CommitMonoNerdFontMono-BoldItalic.otf │ ├── CommitMonoNerdFontMono-Bold.otf │ ├── CommitMonoNerdFontMono-Italic.otf │ ├── CommitMonoNerdFontMono-Regular.otf │ ├── CommitMonoNerdFontPropo-BoldItalic.otf │ ├── CommitMonoNerdFontPropo-Bold.otf │ ├── CommitMonoNerdFontPropo-Italic.otf │ ├── CommitMonoNerdFontPropo-Regular.otf │ ├── CommitMonoNerdFont-Regular.otf │ ├── LICENSE │ └── README.md └── install.sh …but your example text (and most emojis) do render for me on Debian 12 using only the fonts packaged by Debian.
