### Special thanks to:

- George Williams and the entire [FontForge](http://fontforge.github.io/en-US/) team for making a useful creative tool freely available.
- The [ttfautohint](https://www.freetype.org/ttfautohint/) team and their fantastic tool for making this font usable at lower resolutions.
- Ricardo Bánffy of [3270 font](https://github.com/rbanffy/3270font) fame for sharing an image of the Cordata PPC-400 BIOS font.
- Whoever designed the PPC-400 font back in the day that has provided such sweet, sweet inspiration.

## Notes

- If you're using PuTTY, you will need to check "*allow selection of variable-pitch fonts*" for DaddyTimeMono to appear in the fonts dialog.  The CJK fullwidth characters are twice the width of all other characters, and prevent PuTTY from recognizing it as a monospaced font.

## 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.
  * 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

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 `complete` folder here

#### `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].
