Modifications since version 2.x

• 3.0.0-alpha.2
  • Extended width will be built automatically and integrate into existing families.
  • Added more letter-like symbols: ⅋, ℂ, ℍ, ℙ, ℕ, ℚ, ℝ, ℤ, ℵ, ℶ.
  • Refine the height of brackets and symbols.
  • Renamed various variant selectors:
    • v-m-longleg → v-m-normal
    • v-one-hooky → v-one-nobase
    • v-one-serifed → v-one-base
    • v-seven-normal → v-seven-noserif
    • v-seven-force-serifed → v-seven-serifed
  • Added v-lig-ltgteq-flat (cv66) and v-lig-ltgteq-slanted (cv67) to change the shape of <= and >= ligation.
• 3.0.0-alpha.1
  • The letters k, x, v, A, etc. will now use straight legs by default. The “curly” families will keep the old shape.
    • Note this is a parameter difference rather than variant. So there won’t be a cv## or ss## variant selector.
  • Introduced a curly italic k with untagged variant v-k-italic.
  • Introduced ss12 OpenType tag for Ubuntu-Mono style as well as a prebuilt SS12 family.

Prebuilt Packages

Iosevka provides a large variety of variants. Prebuilt variants are described below.

• Spacing : How wide some specific characters are.
  • Default: The default variant with ligatures and semantic full-width glyphs.
  • Terminal (“Term”): Exact monospaced font without ligatures and full-width glyphs. Since some environments cannot interpret Iosevka as monospaced, and have difficulties with ligatures included, you can use Iosevka Term as an alternative.
  • Terminal-Ligature (“TermLig”)：Exact monospaced font with ligatures.
  • Typesetting (“Type”): Similar to Default, but more mathematical symbols are wider.
• Shape : Key shape parameters:
  • Slab: Letters will contain slab serif.
  • Curly: Letters like k, x, v, A, R will have curly leg shapes.
• Ligatures : Whether the ligatures is included. The “no-ligature” variants are used for some Linux-based environments cannot handle ligatures correctly.
• Menu Name : The family name of the font in your OS after installation. If two variants share the same family name, they cannot be installed together.
