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) + * https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/latest/IntelOneMono.zip or https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/releases/latest/IntelOneMono.tar.xz + +#### `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) + +For more information see: [The FAQ](https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/wiki/FAQ-and-Troubleshooting#which-font) + +[SIL-RFN]:http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=OFL_web_fonts_and_RFNs#14cbfd4a +
