* The font is based on _Comic Shanns v2_ by Shannon Miwa (https://github.com/shannpersand/comic-shanns)
* The excellent fork with references by Rodrigo Batista de Moraes is used instead (https://github.com/jesusmgg/comic-shanns-mono/pull/7, https://github.com/Rodrigodd/comic-shanns-mono)
* The caron is corrected (vertically mirrored) by Nerd Fonts
* dcaron and tcaron are corrected with apothrophe by Nerd Fonts
* The **Bold** weight has been manually added by Nerd Fonts, inspired by Thai Pangsakulyanont's _Comic Mono_ (https://github.com/dtinth/comic-mono-font)
* If you are limited to monospaced fonts (because of your terminal, etc) then pick a font with `Nerd Font Mono` (or `NFM`).
* If you want to have bigger icons (usually around 1.5 normal letters wide) pick a font without `Mono` i.e. `Nerd Font` (or `NF`). Most terminals support this, but ymmv.
* If you work in a proportional context (GUI elements or edit a presentation etc) pick a font with `Nerd Font Propo` (or `NFP`).
### Ligatures
Ligatures are generally preserved in the patched fonts.
Nerd Fonts `v2.0.0` had no ligatures in the `Nerd Font Mono` fonts, this has been dropped with `v2.1.0`.
If you have a ligature-aware terminal and don't want ligatures you can (usually) disable them in the terminal settings.
### Explanation
Once you narrow down your font choice of family (`Droid Sans`, `Inconsolata`, etc) and style (`bold`, `italic`, etc) you have 2 main choices:
#### `Option 1: Download already patched font`
* For a stable version download a font package from the [release page](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases)
* Or download the development version from the folders here
#### `Option 2: Patch your own font`
* Patch your own variations with the various options provided by the font patcher (i.e. not include all symbols for smaller font size)
