## Installation
### Installing from GitHub Releases
1. Download your font package from [releases](https://github.com/be5invis/Iosevka/releases).
* For Linux users you could use the following command to download all the packages in the latest release:
```bash
curl -s 'https://api.github.com/repos/be5invis/Iosevka/releases/latest' | jq -r ".assets[] | .browser_download_url" | grep ttf-iosevka | xargs -n 1 curl -L -O --fail --silent --show-error
```
2. Quit all your editors / programs.
3. Unarchive the font package and you will see the font files.
4. Take actions depending on your OS:
* **Windows**: Select the font files and drag into font [settings](ms-settings:fonts) / font control panel page.
* On Windows 10 1809 or newer, the default font installation is per-user, and it may cause compatibility issues for some applications, mostly written in Java. To cope with this, right click and select “Install for all users” instead. [Ref.](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JRE-1166?p=IDEA-200145)
* **macOS**: [Follow instructions here](http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2509).

## Features
In the official package, Iosevka provides 6 monospace subfamilies (sans-serif and slab-serif, each in the 3 spacings Default, Term and Fixed) and 2 quasi-proportional subfamilies (Aile (sans-serif) and Etoile (slab-serif)). In all the monospace subfamilies, 9 weights (Thin to Heavy), 2 widths (Normal and Extended), and 3 slopes (Upright, Italic and Oblique) are included. In the quasi-proportional subfamilies, the quantity of widths is reduced to 1.
