Chinese and Japanese users → [Inziu Iosevka for Chinese and Japanese.](http://be5invis.github.io/Iosevka/inziu.html) (A **hinted** Composite with M+ and Source Han Sans.)

## Installation

Quit your editor/program. Unzip and open the folder.

* **[Instructions for Windows](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Typography/TrueTypeInstall.aspx)**
* **[Instructions for macOS](http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2509)**
  * Standard distribution in Homebrew: `brew tap caskroom/fonts && brew cask install font-iosevka` (May be outdated).
  * Customizable install using Homebrew: see [robertgzr/homebrew-tap](https://github.com/robertgzr/homebrew-tap).
* **Linux** : Copy the TTF files to your fonts directory → Run `sudo fc-cache`. 
  - Arch Linux users can install the font from the AUR [here](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ttf-iosevka) using an AUR wrapper or by doing it manually. [All variants](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&SeB=nd&K=ttf-iosevka&SB=n&SO=a&PP=50&do_Search=Go).
  - Void Linux users can install the font with `xbps-install font-iosevka`.

## Weights, Variants and OpenType features

The typeface contains seven weights (thin, extra-light, light, regular, medium, bold and heavy) alongside with both italic and oblique versions, with the same metrics as the regular one. 

![Weights sample](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/be5invis/Iosevka/master/images/weights.png)

All versions include the same ranges of characters: Latin letters, Greek letters (including Polytonic), some Cyrillic letters, IPA symbols and common punctuations and some symbols. You can check out the full list [here](http://be5invis.github.io/Iosevka/specimen.html).

![Languages Sample](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/be5invis/Iosevka/master/images/languages.png)

Iosevka supports accessing all letter variants using OpenType features.

### Ligations

![Ligations Sample](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/be5invis/Iosevka/master/images/ligations.png)

Iosevka’s default ligation set is assigned to `calt` feature, though not all of them are enabled by default.

Iosevka supports Language-Specific Ligations, which is the ligation set enabled only under certain languages. These ligation sets are assigned to custom feature tags, like `XHS0`.

## Building from Source

To build Iosevka you should:

1. Ensure that [`nodejs`](http://nodejs.org) (≥ 8.4), [`ttfautohint`](http://www.freetype.org/ttfautohint/), [`otfcc`](https://github.com/caryll/otfcc) (≥ 0.9.3) and GNU `make` (≥ 4.1; BSD `make` may not work) are runnable in your terminal.
   - Windows users may need to install MinGW and make POSIX utilities accessible (`mkdir.exe`, `cp.exe`, `cat.exe` and `rm.exe`, in particular) from Command Prompt. Utilities provided by [Git for Windows](https://git-for-windows.github.io/) or MSYS2 works fine.
2. Install necessary libs by `npm install`. If you’ve installed them, upgrade to the latest.
3. `make` (or `gmake`).


You will find TTFs in the `dist/` directory.

### Building the Web Font

The `webfonts/` directory is used to build Iosevka for web font uses. To build the web fonts you should:

1. Build Iosevka.
2. Ensure that `sfnt2woff` and `woff2_compress` are installed and runnable.
3. Run `make web` .

The web fonts will be generated into `dist/iosevka/web` and `dist/iosevka-slab/web`.

## Build Your Own Style

![Styles Preview](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/be5invis/Iosevka/master/images/variants.png)

Iosevka comes with several visual styles, however they are inactive using the default build. To build these variants, you should perform custom build:

1. `make custom-config [set=<name>]` with the parameters listed below to create a configuration. The `set=<name>` part is optional, it will be set to `custom` when absent.
2. `make custom [set=<name>]` to acquire your custom font.
   - `make custom-web [set=<name>]` is for web fonts.

The first step, `make custom-config` takes following parameters to set styles of your custom build. All of them are optional, and would default to Iosevka’s default configuration:

* `design='<styles>'`, styles for your custom font set.
* `upright='<styles>'`, styles for uprights only.
* `italic='<styles>'`, styles for italics only.
* `oblique='<styles>'`, styles for obliques only.

You can add arbitrary styles for these variables.

You can also customize the font family and target weights:

* `family='<Font Family>'`, for a customized font family name.
* `weights='<list of weights>'`, a space-separated list, indicates the specific weights needed to be built. The candidates are:
  * `thin`
  * `extralight`
  * `light`
  * `book` (regular)
  * `medium`
  * `bold`
  * `heavy`

For example,

```bash
make custom-config upright='v-l-zshaped v-i-zshaped' family='Iosevka X' weights='book bold'
make custom
```

will create a variant with Z-shaped letter `l` and `i` for uprights, and it would be named as '`Iosevka X`' after installation, and only Regular and Bold weights would be created.

The current available styles for `design`/`upright`/`italic`/`oblique` options are:

* Styles for general shape:
  * `sans` : Sans serif (default).
  * `slab` : Slab serif. When present, the family of your font would be `Iosevka Slab`.
* Styles related to ligations and spacing:
  - `term` : Disable ligations and exact monospace. When this style is present, the font built will not contain ligatures, and its family name will be set to “`Iosevka Term`”. In case of your OS or editor cannot handle ligatures correctly, you can disable ligations with it.
  - `termlig` : Similar to `term`, the font is exact monospace to make `fontconfig` happy, while ligations are still present.
  - `type` : Make some symbols, like arrows (`→`) and mathematical operators full-width.
  - `stress-fw` : When included, full-width characters varying form `U+FF00` to `U+FFFF` will be boxed to present a clear distinguish between ASCII and Full-width. The family name will be set to “`Iosevka StFW`”.
* All registered `ss##` and `cv##` feature tags, including:
  * `ss01`~`ss10` : Predefined stylistic sets based on other Monospace fonts.
  * `cv01`~`cv45` : Standalone character variants.
* Styles for ligation sets, include:
  * `ligset-haskell`: Default ligation set would be assigned to Haskell.
  * `ligset-idris`: Default ligation set would be assigned to Idris.
  * `ligset-coq`: Default ligation set would be assigned to Coq.
  * `ligset-elm`: Default ligation set would be assigned to Elm.
  * `ligset-ml`: Default ligation set would be assigned to ML.
  * `ligset-fs`: Default ligation set would be assigned to F#.
  * `ligset-fstar`: Default ligation set would be assigned to F\*.
  * `ligset-swift`: Default ligation set would be assigned to Swift.
  * `ligset-purescript`: Default ligation set would be assigned to PureScript.

    * `v-l-hooky` : Hooky `l`.
