# Recommended font: Meslo Nerd Font patched for Powerlevel10k
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Gorgeous monospace font designed by Jim Lyles for Bitstream, customized by the same for Apple,
|
||
|
|
further customized by André Berg, and finally patched by yours truly with customized scripts
|
||
|
|
originally developed by Ryan L McIntyre of Nerd Fonts. Contains all glyphs and symbols that
|
||
|
|
Powerlevel10k may need. Battle-tested in dozens of different terminals on all major operating
|
||
|
|
systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*FAQ*: [How was the recommended font created?](README.md#how-was-the-recommended-font-created)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Automatic font installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are using iTerm2 or Termux, `p10k configure` can install the recommended font for you.
|
||
|
|
Simply answer `Yes` when asked whether to install *Meslo Nerd Font*.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are using a different terminal, proceed with manual font installation. 👇
|
||
|

|

|
|
## Manual font installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Download these four ttf files:
|
||
|
|
- [MesloLGS NF Regular.ttf](
|
||
|
|
https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/raw/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Regular.ttf)
|
||
|
|
- [MesloLGS NF Bold.ttf](
|
||
|
|
https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/raw/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Bold.ttf)
|
||
|
|
- [MesloLGS NF Italic.ttf](
|
||
|
|
https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/raw/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Italic.ttf)
|
||
|
|
- [MesloLGS NF Bold Italic.ttf](
|
||
|
|
https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/raw/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Bold%20Italic.ttf)
|

|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
@font-face {
|
||
|
|
font-family: "MesloLGS NF";
|
||
|
|
src: url("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Regular.ttf");
|
||
|
|
font-weight: normal;
|
||
|
|
font-style: normal;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
@font-face {
|
||
|
|
font-family: "MesloLGS NF";
|
||
|
|
src: url("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Bold.ttf");
|
||
|
|
font-weight: bold;
|
||
|
|
font-style: normal;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
@font-face {
|
||
|
|
font-family: "MesloLGS NF";
|
||
|
|
src: url("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Italic.ttf");
|
||
|
|
font-weight: normal;
|
||
|
|
font-style: italic;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
@font-face {
|
||
|
|
font-family: "MesloLGS NF";
|
||
|
|
src: url("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k-media/master/MesloLGS%20NF%20Bold%20Italic.ttf");
|
||
|
|
font-weight: bold;
|
||
|
|
font-style: italic;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
**_CAVEAT_**: If you open the normal terminal preferences these settings will be overwritten.
|
||
|
|
1. Run `p10k configure` to generate a new `~/.p10k.zsh`. The old config may work
|
||
|
|
incorrectly with the new font.
