# Recommended font: Meslo Nerd Font patched for Powerlevel10k
Gorgeous monospace font designed by Jim Lyles for Bitstream, customized by the same for Apple,
further customized by André Berg, and finally patched by yours truly with customized scripts
originally developed by Ryan L McIntyre of Nerd Fonts. Contains all glyphs and symbols that
Powerlevel10k may need. Battle-tested in dozens of different terminals on all major operating
systems.
*FAQ*: [How was the recommended font created?](README.md#how-was-the-recommended-font-created)
#### Automatic font installation
If you are using iTerm2 or Termux, `p10k configure` can install the recommended font for you.
Simply answer `Yes` when asked whether to install *Meslo Nerd Font*.
If you are using a different terminal, proceed with manual font installation. 👇
#### Manual font installation
Download these four ttf files:
- [MesloLGS NF Regular.ttf](
https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/raw/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Regular.ttf)
- [MesloLGS NF Bold.ttf](
https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/raw/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Bold.ttf)
- [MesloLGS NF Italic.ttf](
https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/raw/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Italic.ttf)
- [MesloLGS NF Bold Italic.ttf](
https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/raw/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Bold%20Italic.ttf)
