# JetBrainsMono
A typeface made for developers. \
More about font features & design can be found on [its page](https://jetbrains.com/mono/).
# **Installation**
### **In JetBrains IDEs**
The most recent version of JetBrains Mono ships with your JetBrains IDE starting with v2019.3.
Select JetBrains Mono in the IDE settings: go to `Preferences/Settings``Editor``Font`, and then select JetBrains Mono from the Font dropdown.
### Another IDE or an older version of a JetBrains IDE
1. [Download font](https://download.jetbrains.com/fonts/JetBrainsMono-1.0.0.zip?fromGitHub).
2. Unzip the archive and install the font:
- Mac. Select all font files in the folder and double-click them. Click the *"Install Font"* button.
- Windows. Select all font files in the folder, right-click any of them, then pick *"Install"* from the menu.
- Ubuntu. Open a terminal with `Ctrl`+`Alt`+`T` and run the following:
```
cd <name_of_our_archive.zip>
unzip "\*.zip" -d ${HOME}/.fonts
sudo fc-cache -f -v
```
3. Restart your IDE.
4. Go to `Preferences/Settings``Editor``Font`, and pick JetBrains Mono from the Font dropdown.
### **Visual Studio Code**
* Follow the instructions above to step 3.
* Go to the settings editor, from the File menu choose Preferences, Settings or use keyboard shortcut `Ctrl`+, (`Cmd`+, on Mac).
* In the *"Font Family"* input box type JetBrains Mono, replacing any content.
* To enable ligatures turn on the checkbox in *"Font ligatures"*.
#### **Manually editing settings.json**
Visual Studio Code allows you to also edit the underlying settings.json config file. First open the settings editor as described above, then click the "`{}`" icon, at the top right, to open the *"settings.json"* file.
Then paste the following lines and save the file.
```
"editor.fontFamily": "JetBrains Mono",
"editor.fontLigatures": true,
```
## Source files
Can be found in the *"Source"* folder. To open them you will need FontLab 6 or higher.

## 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
### Ligatures
By the *Nerd Font* policy, the variant with the `'Mono'` suffix is not supposed to have any ligatures.
Use the non-*Mono* variants to have ligatures.
### 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.
