Inconsolata LGC

Inconsolata is one of the most suitable font for programmers created by Raph Levien. Since the original Inconsolata does not contain Cyrillic alphabet, it was slightly inconvenient for not a few programmers from Russia.

Inconsolata LGC is a modified version of Inconsolata with added the Cyrillic alphabet which directly descends from Inconsolata Hellenic supporting modern Greek.

Inconsolata LGC is licensed under SIL OFL.

Inconsolata LGC changes:

• Cyrillic glyphs added.
• Italic and Bold font added.

Changes inherited from Inconsolata Hellenic:

• Greek glyphs.

Changes inherited from Inconsolata-dz:

• Straight quotation marks.

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 or you want the font with just Font Awesome and Devicons. The goal is to provide every combination possible in this folder.
