[why] The fonts where we are allowed to keep the font name despite the RFN clause in the license have nothing mentioning of RFN or the exception in the readmes. But it is recommended (required?) by SIL to inform users of that exception in a most transparent way. [how] Add that bit of information to the readme files in the patched-fonts directories and the release archives. [note] Also some other information seemed to be missing, by the complete rebuild of the readme it also got updated (Gohu/ProFont). Signed-off-by: Fini Jastrow <ulf.fini.jastrow@desy.de>

# mononoki
|
|
|
|
**mononoki** is a font for programming and code review
|
|
|
|
For more information have a look at the upstream website: https://github.com/madmalik/mononoki
|
|
|
|
Version: 1.6
|
|
|
|
## `Mononoki` is a Reserved Font Name
|
|
|
|
Some fonts have parts of their name "reserved" per the [Reserved Font Name mechanism][SIL-RFN]:
|
|
> No Modified Version of the Font Software may use the Reserved Font
|
|
> Name(s) unless explicit written permission is granted by the corresponding
|
|
> Copyright Holder. This restriction only applies to the primary font name as
|
|
> presented to the users.
|
|
|
|
- The main goals seem to be to: `Avoid collisions`, `Protect authors`, `Minimize support`, and `Encourage derivatives`
|
|
|
|
See the [Reserved Font Name section][SIL-RFN] for additional information
|
|
|
|

## Which font?
|
|
|
|
### TL;DR
|
|
|
|
* Pick your font family:
|
|
* If you are limited to monospaced fonts (because of your terminal, etc) then pick a font with `Nerd Font Mono` (or `NFM`).
|
|
* If you want to have bigger icons (usually around 1.5 normal letters wide) pick a font without `Mono` i.e. `Nerd Font` (or `NF`). 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)
|
|
* Or download the development version from the folders here
|
|
|
|
#### `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)
