Naming convention ?

[NormTurtle]

just explain how the Naming is working?

Thing that i understand

• nerd font = special font with many symbols inbuilt to use
• cjk = Chinese, Japanese, Korean .
• mono = monospaced , glyph ( special Symbol ) taking there own space same as if they were letter, but the are reduced to fit into that size
• sarasa-term-hc = term refer to terminal meaning? idk what is the special usecase?
• sarasa-ui-k = ui refer to GUI usage mean it have propo proportional space rather then monospaced! i may be wrong

Thing that i do not know | want's to know

-- what is tc , sc, cl, acutally??
-- what is fixed, slab , mono-slab, term ??

TLDR

• Source Han Sans + Iosevka Normal ➡️ Sarasa Mono
• Source Han Sans + Iosevka Term ➡️ Sarasa Term
• Source Han Sans + Iosevka Fixed ➡️ Sarasa Fixed
• Source Han Sans + Iosevka Slab ➡️ Sarasa Mono Slab
• Source Han Sans + Iosevka Term Slab ➡️ Sarasa Term Slab
• Source Han Sans + Iosevka Fixed Slab ➡️ Sarasa Fixed Slab
• Source Han Sans + Inter ➡️ Sarasa Gothic or Sarasa UI

And then:

• Source Han Sans CL + Iosevka Normal ➡️ Sarasa Mono CL
• Source Han Sans SC + Iosevka Normal ➡️ Sarasa Mono SC
• Source Han Sans TC + Iosevka Normal ➡️ Sarasa Mono TC
• Source Han Sans HC + Iosevka Normal ➡️ Sarasa Mono HC
• Source Han Sans J + Iosevka Normal ➡️ Sarasa Mono J
• Source Han Sans K + Iosevka Normal ➡️ Sarasa Mono K

What is CL, SC, TC, HC, J, K?

This only effect the CJK glyph.

These parts describe which Source Han Sans variants are used in the font.

• CL means Traditional Chinese CLassic orthography (繁體中文傳統字型)
• SC means Simplified Chinese (简体中文)
• TC means Traditional Chinese — Taiwan (繁體中文—臺灣)
• HC means Traditional Chinese — Hong Kong (繁體中文—香港)
• J means Japanese (日本語)
• K means Korean (한국어)

What is mono, term, fixed, mono-slab, term-slab, fixed-slab?

This only effect the non-CJK glyph.

These parts describe which Iosevka font variants are used in the font. (screenshot source: https://typeof.net/Iosevka/)
