# Noto
**Noto**s goal is to provide a beautiful reading experience for all languages.
https://fonts.google.com/noto
The **Noto Mono** is an ancient font, nowadays the equivalent is Noto Sans Mono.
Some `ldot` and/or `fi`/`fl` ligatures are removed because they map to only one advance width.
Version: 2.013 (2022) for Noto Serif
Version: 2.013 (2022) for Noto Sans
Version: 2.014 (2022) for Noto Sans Mono
Version: 1.0 (2007) for Noto Mono
## 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)
