the same height, and some other minor adjustments.

Greek letters.
Powerline characters.
1.3.1 - Various fixes: still cleaning m and w, reworked all ogoneks, changed a
bit the dollar, moved some accents, eliminated glitches around
Powerline symbols.
TTF fonts are now hinted using Freetype's `ttfautohint`, which should
give much better results on Windows (and maybe in Java apps and others
contexts). In case this is a problem, please let me know and I will
provide also an unhinted version.
**Windows users should use the TTF (TrueType) files.**
1.3.2 - Various fixes: playing again with bold m, moving accents again, taking
care again of Powerline symbols, clean 8 and R.
Add a few box drawing characters (for use with vim-indentline).
Generate webfonts (goal: this font used for code samples on all cool
languages' websites).
Add a WIP medium version of the proportional font.
1.4 - Rename font to **Fantasque Sans**, because *fantasque is the new cosmic*.
Make W look symetrical at big size.
1.4.1 - Drop Reserved Font Name. **You can now subset, compress, hint and
whatnot without worrying about renaming**.
Many small improvements (8, s , t, a, e, {, }, W, i, l, g...).

Some small changes (Q, w, y, n).
1.6 - Add bold italic version.
1.6.1 - Simplify @ to make it look sharp at all sizes.
Various fixes.

Make the underscore visible on Windows.
Generate better CSS.
1.6.4 - Fix line height on Mac.
Move all the italic glyphs to the left.
Adjust some accents.
1.6.5 - Make italics visible on Windows.
1.7.0 - Beta version for the 1.7 series.
**Add Cyrillic alphabet to the four fonts.**
Add some real sub/supscript numbers and fractions.
Revamp straight and curly quotes.
Fix some Windows rendering issues.
Move accents around (why do I do that every time?)
Add `fontdiff` script which generates font diffs.
1.7.1 - **Add a stylistic set to replace the looped lowercase `k` with
a straight version.**
Adjust curly quotes so they behave better as apostrophes.
Also, since nobody complained about the new Cyrillic characters,
I declare this is their official release! (I did not change
anything since 1.7.0 though).
## Which font?
### TL;DR
0. Pick your font family and then select from the `'complete'` directory.
* Are you on Windows? Pick a font with the suffix `'Windows Compatible'`
* Are you limited to mono fonts (because of your terminal, etc)? Pick a font with the suffix `'Mono'`
### Explanation
Once you narrow done your font choice of family (`Droid Sans`, `Inconsolata`, etc) and style (`bold`, `italic`, etc) you have 2 main choices:
* 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.
* 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 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.
