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
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 or you want the font with just Font Awesome and Devicons.
