curl -OL "$releases/download/version_2_37/dejavu-fonts-ttf-2.37.tar.bz2" &&
unset releases &&

The default font shown in Secure Shell under Chrome OS before version 73 was DejaVu Sans Mono. The Google system fonts now don't include DejaVu, but instead use Noto
The DejaVu fonts are a font family based on the Vera Fonts. Its purpose is to provide a wider range of characters while maintaining the original look and feel through the process of collaborative development (see authors), under a Free license.

The "hterm" FAQ includes an example using https://github.com/wernight/powerline-web-fonts/ which is loosely based upon https://github.com/powerline/fonts, which in turn includes a modified version of DejaVu. This repository is simpler in its goal, to provide the latest version of upstream DejaVu Sans Mono as a web font.
