Most characters are just 4px wide, which is brilliant for\nlow dpi(90-120) displays.\n\n\n## What\u0027s new?\n\n - Scaleable `ttf` format\n - Raster formats: `otb` and `bdf`\n - Ligatures (vim and neovim only)\n - **Bold** and *Italic* variants\n - New Characters to the following unicode blocks:\n * Geometric Shapes\n * Arrows\n * Miscellaneous Technical\n * Miscellaneous Symbols\n * Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A\n * Private Use Area (Powerline symbols)\n * Mathematical Operators\n * Box Drawings\n - Revamped characters: `V, *, f, W, M, ~, \u0026 , i, t, a, (), [], {}`\n - Vertically centered operators\n - Larger Brackets to ease recognizability in streams of text\n\n## Gallery\n\n|  |  |  |\n| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |\n| Programming | Box Drawings | Latin, Polish, Slovakian, French, German |\n\n|  |  |\n| -------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |\n| Powerline Glyphs | Ligatures (Rust, Python, Haskell, Ocaml) |\n\n\n## Installation\n\nInstallation instructions have been moved to\n[`INSTALL.md`](INSTALL.md).\n\n## Ligatures\n\nScientifica supports ligatures in Vim and Neovim via the\nconceal feature. Please read the\n[Ligatures](ligature_plugins/README.md)\nmanual for instructions.\n\n\n## Credits\n\nMost Basic Latin characters are from\n[creep](https://github.com/romeovs/creep) by\n[romeovs](https://github.com/romeovs/). \nCreep has been optimized for linux termin",
