Thanks and aknowledgments

The Unicode versions of the 11px font are based extensively on the fixed 6x10 font by Markus Kuhn (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs-fonts.html). I used the Terminus font in 14 px with great satisfaction for a long time before I decided to make gohufont 14 px, so it surely inspired me and they may share some similarities in appearance. It is not a derivative work though. Thanks to Dimitar Zhekov for his great font.

Version: 1.33

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)
