# Iosevka 17.0.4
|
||
**Iosevka** is an *open-source*, *sans-serif* + *slab-serif*, *monospace* + *quasi‑proportional* typeface family, designed for *writing code*, using in *terminals*, and preparing *technical documents*.
|
||
|
||
For more information have a look at the upstream website: https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka
|
||
|
||
## 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].
