Terminus

Terminus TTF is a TrueType version of Terminus Font, a fixed-width bitmap font optimized for long work with computers.

https://terminus-font.sourceforge.net/

For more information have a look at the upstream website: https://files.ax86.net/terminus-ttf/

Version: 4.49.2

Why Terminess and not Terminus?

What's in a name? The reason for the name change is to comply with the SIL Open Font License (OFL), in particular the Reserved Font Name mechanism

Some fonts have parts of their name "reserved" per the Reserved Font Name mechanism:

No Modified Version of the Font Software may use the Reserved Font Name(s) unless explicit written permission is granted by the corresponding Copyright Holder. This restriction only applies to the primary font name as presented to the users.

  • The main goals seem to be to: Avoid collisions, Protect authors, Minimize support, and Encourage derivatives

See the Reserved Font Name section for additional information

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)
