### How was the recommended font created?
|
||||
|
||||
[The recommended font](#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k) is the product of many
|
||||
individuals. Its origin is *Bitstream Vera Sans Mono*, which has given birth to *Menlo*, which in
|
||||
turn has spawned *Meslo*. Finally, extra glyphs have been added to *Meslo* with scripts forked
|
||||
from Nerd Fonts.
|
||||
|
||||
MesloLGS NF font can be recreated with the following command (requires `git` and `docker`):
|
||||
|
||||
```zsh
|
||||
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/romkatv/nerd-fonts.git
|
||||
cd nerd-fonts
|
||||
./build 'Meslo/S/*'
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If everything goes well, four `ttf` files will appear in `./out`.
