Terminus Font is a clean, fixed width bitmap font, designed for long (8
|
|
and more hours per day) work with computers. Version 4.36 contains 856
|
|
characters, covers about 120 language sets and supports
|
|
ISO8859-1/2/5/7/9/13/15/16, Paratype-PT154/PT254, KOI8-R/U/E/F,
|
|
Esperanto, many IBM, Windows and Macintosh code pages, as well as the
|
|
IBM VGA, vt100 and xterm pseudographic characters.
|
|
|
|
Terminess Powerline is derived from Terminus Font for Powerline users.
|
|
The Powerline symbols is being made by Kim Silkebækken. The patch work
|
|
is being undertaken by Nikolay Pavlov and Carl X. Su.
|
|
|
|
Both the final font Truetype/OpenType files and the design files used to
|
|
produce the font family are distributed under an open licence and you
|
|
are expressly encouraged to experiment, modify, share and improve.
|
|
|
|
Note: If you want to have patched font with different USE flags, use
|
|
fontpatcher located at
|
|
<https://bitbucket.org/ZyX_I/bitmap-font-patcher>, it is always using
|
|
proper (manually adjusted) glyphs. Here are the variants controlled by
|
|
USE flags (see font homepage for better explanations about what each USE
|
|
flag does):

## Why `Terminess` and not `Terminus`?
|
|
|
|
What's in a name? The reason for the name change is to comply with the SIL Open Font License (OFL), in partcular the [Reserved Font Name mechanism][SIL-RFN]
|
|
|
|
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 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.
|
|
* This denotes that the Nerd Font glyphs will be monospaced not necessarily that the entire font will be monospaced
|
|
|
|
### 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`
|
|
|
|
* download an already patched font from the `complete` folder
|
|
* This is most likely the one you want. It includes **all** of the glyphs from all of the glyph sets. Only caution here is that some fonts have glyphs in the _same_ code point so to include everything some had to be moved to alternate code points.
|
|
|
|
#### `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]. The goal is to provide every combination possible in this folder.
