### 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`.
