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.
