*** naming
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- "Agave" refers either to the green plant or to the daughter of Kadmos in mythology.
|
||
|
|
- Agave is sister to [[https://github.com/agarick/autonoe][autonoe]] and [[https://github.com/agarick/ino][ino]].
|
||
|
|
- *type agaric* opted for a slightly eponymic name for their first typeface.

... foremost to the respective persons/teams behind FontForge and Inkscape, as I relied on the two programs to design, draw, and generate *agave*,

## Which font?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### TL;DR
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Pick your font family and then select from the `'complete'` directory.
|
||
|
|
* If you are on Windows pick a font with the `'Windows Compatible'` suffix.
|
||
|
|
* This includes specific tweaks to ensure the font works on Windows, in particular monospace identification and font name length limitations
|
||
|
|
* If you are limited to monospaced fonts (because of your terminal, etc) then pick a font with the `'Mono'` suffix.
|
||
|
|
* This denotes that the Nerd Font glyphs will be monospaced not necessarily that the entire font will be monospaced
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Ligatures
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By the *Nerd Font* policy, the variant with the `'Mono'` suffix is not supposed to have any ligatures.
|
||
|
|
Use the non-*Mono* variants to have ligatures.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 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`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#### `Option 2: Patch your own font`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 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 is the option you want if the font you use is _not_ already included or you want maximum control of what's included
|
||
|
|
* 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.
