This is ProFont for Linux/UNIX X Windows, build by Gareth Redman.

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].
