  "github_readme_excerpt": "## Fira Code: free monospaced font with programming ligatures\n\n![Fira Code](./extras/logo.svg)\n\nRead in [Espa\u00f1ol](./LEEME.md) | [\u7b80\u4f53\u4e2d\u6587](./README_CN.md) | [\u65e5\u672c\u8a9e](./README_JA.md) | [Portugu\u00eas brasileiro](./LEIAME.md)\n\n### Problem\n\nProgrammers use a lot of symbols, often encoded with several characters. For the human brain, sequences like `-\u003e`, `\u003c=`, or `:=` are single logical tokens, even if they take two or three characters on the screen. Your eye spends a non-zero amount of energy to scan, parse and join multiple characters into a single logical one. Ideally, all programming languages should be designed with full-fledged Unicode symbols for operators, but that\u2019s not the case yet.\n\n### Solution\n\nFira Code is a free monospaced font containing ligatures for common programming multi-character combinations. This is just a font rendering feature: underlying code remains ASCII-compatible. This helps to read and understand code faster. For some frequent sequences like `..` or `//`, ligatures allow us to correct spacing.\n\n### Download \u0026 Install\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/releases/download/6.2/Fira_Code_v6.2.zip\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Fira_Code_v6.2.zip - December 6, 2021 - 2.5 MB\" src=\"./extras/download.png\" width=\"520\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\nThen:\n\n- [How to Install](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/wiki)\n- [Troubleshooting](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode/wiki#troubleshooting)\n- [News \u0026 Updates](https://twitter.com/FiraCode)\n\n### What\u2019s in the box?\n\nLeft: ligatures as rendered in Fira Code. Right: same character sequences without ligatures.\n\n\u003cimg src=\"./extras/ligatures.png\" width=\"754\"\u003e\n\nFira Code comes with a huge variety of arrows. Even better: you can make them as long as you like and combine start/middle/end fragments however you want!\n\n\u003cimg src=\"./extras/arrows.png\" width=\"754\"\u003e\n\nFira Code is not only about ligatures. Some fine-tuning is done for punctuation and frequent letter pairs.\n\n\u003cimg src=\"./extras/typographics.png\" width=\"754\"\u003e\n\nFira Code comes with a few different ch",
