## Which font?
### TL;DR
0. Pick your font family and then select from the `'complete'` directory.
* Are you on Windows? Pick a font with the suffix `'Windows Compatible'`
* Are you limited to mono fonts (because of your terminal, etc)? Pick a font with the suffix `'Mono'`
### Explanation
Once you narrow done your font choice of family (`Droid Sans`, `Inconsolata`, etc) and style (`bold`, `italic`, etc) you have 2 main choices:
* download an already patched font from the `complete` folder
* This is most likely the one you want. It includes **all** of the glyphs from all of the glyph sets. Only caution here is that some fonts have glyphs in the _same_ code point so to include everything some had to be moved to alternate code points.
* patch your own variations with the various options provided by the font patcher (see each font's readme for full list of combinations available)
* This contains a list of _all permutations_ of the various glyphs. E.g. You want the font with only [Octicons][octicons] or you want the font with just [Font Awesome][font-awesome] and [Devicons][vorillaz-devicons]. The goal is to provide every combination possible in this folder.
