This is ProFont for Linux/UNIX X Windows, build by Gareth Redman. To get the full original Distribution, other ProFont builds and more information go to DISCLAIMER See LICENSE file Tobias Jung January 2014 profont@tobiasjung.name ## 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.

Combinations are no longer included by default because of the large inflation in size it caused the Repository _and_ the amount of time it takes to rebuild all of the combinations. This issue would exponentially get worse as the numbers of Fonts and Glyph Sets provided increase.
