- Pick your font family:
- If you are limited to monospaced fonts (because of your terminal, etc) then pick a font with
Nerd Font Mono(orNFM). - If you want to have bigger icons (usually around 1.5 normal letters wide) pick a font without

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.
Once you narrow down your font choice of family (Droid Sans, Inconsolata, etc) and style (bold, italic, etc) you have 2 main choices:
- For a stable version download a font package from the release page
- Or download the development version from the folders here
- Patch your own variations with the various options provided by the font patcher (i.e. not include all symbols for smaller font size)
