## Which font?
### TL;DR
2017-08-05 01:13:06 +02:00
* 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.
2023-01-17 20:07:49 +01:00
* If you want to have bigger icons (usually around 1.5 normal letters wide) pick a font without `'Mono'` suffix. Most terminals support this, but ymmv.
### Ligatures
2023-01-17 20:07:49 +01:00
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
2017-08-05 01:13:06 +02:00
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`
2023-01-17 20:07:49 +01:00
* 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 `complete` folder here
2017-08-05 01:13:06 +02:00
#### `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)
2017-08-05 01:13:06 +02:00
* This is the option you want if the font you use is _not_ already included or you want maximum control of what's included
2023-01-17 20:07:49 +01:00
* 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].
