![]() ![]() You can see an example with the standby-symbol on the right in the picture above. ![]() And that is: There are symbol glyphs that are bigger then one cell, but they extend only to the right and not to the left. Of course that does only work if people work with the same assumption. A lot of code exists, in tools, that add a blank ( ) after each symbol, to add a bit of space for the symbol. This means that all glyphs in the font have the same width (one cell), but some glyphs extend into the next / neighboring cell. But a lot of terminals require the font to be still monospaced. ![]() The typical terminal emulators / consoles have no problem with these 'too big' symbols. Here the symbols are not scaled down, but usually are 1.3 to 1.8 cells wide. For this reason there are also Nerd Font (without Mono) fonts. This results in the Nerd Font Mono variants.īut usually letters are slender, and to scale a round-ish icon down to fit into that cell makes it very very small. The symbols need to be scaled down to fit into that cell also. Monospaced means each 'letter' is displayed in the same 'cell'. Usually you need a monospaced font for that. Nerd Fonts is primarily for people that work in some kind of text window ('terminal'). Not technically, but what we want to achieve. ![]()
