Some of the patched fonts are _intentionally _renamed due to license restrictions to comply with SIL Open Font License (OFL). In particular the [Reserved Font Names (RFNs)](http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?item_id=OFL_web_fonts_and_RFNs#14cbfd4a)

## What do these acronym variations in the font name mean: `LG`, `L`, `M`, `S`, `DZ`, `SZ`?
|
||||
|
||||
- LG - Line Gap
|
||||
- L - Large
|
||||
- M - Medium
|
||||
- S - Small
|
||||
- DZ - Dotted Zero
|
||||
- SZ - Slashed Zero
|
||||
|
||||
This particularly applies to Meslo at the moment:
|
||||
|
||||
> Meslo has changed it’s name to Meslo LG which now includes three variants:
|
||||
small, medium and large.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> LG stands for Line Gap, so there’s one variant for smaller vertical line spacing,
|
||||
more towards Apple’s Menlo, a normal line gap (which equals Meslo v0.1) and
|
||||
a large gap, which is more than twice the space of Apple’s Menlo.
|
||||
>
|
||||
> In addition to Regular, there’s Italic, Bold and Bold Italic font styles
|
||||
included for each LG variant.

## Why isn't my favorite font included?
|
||||
|
||||
It is most likely due to the font not being free _or_ due to licensing reasons which prevent distributing or distributing modified versions.
