Droid Sans Mono

Droid Sans Mono is a contemporary family designed for comfortable reading on screen. The font is slightly condensed to maximize the amount of text displayed on small screens.

We use here the patched version from mt3 https://github.com/mt3

Version: 1.00-113

Which font?

TL;DR

Pick your font family:
- If you are limited to monospaced fonts (because of your terminal, etc) then pick a font with Nerd Font Mono (or NFM).
- If you want to have bigger icons (usually around 1.5 normal letters wide) pick a font without Mono i.e. Nerd Font (or NF). Most terminals support this, but ymmv.
- If you work in a proportional context (GUI elements or edit a presentation etc) pick a font with Nerd Font Propo (or NFP).

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 folders here

`Option 2: Patch your own font`

Patch your own variations with the various options provided by the font patcher (i.e. not include all symbols for smaller font size)
