Roboto Mono is too widely spaced about termux-styling HOT 8 OPEN

Hm, it looks like the Robot Mono fonts from nerd-fonts (https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/master/patched-fonts/RobotoMono/complete/Roboto%20Mono%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete.ttf) adds a lot of space compared to e.g. https://github.com/google/fonts/raw/master/apache/robotomono/RobotoMono-Regular.ttf.

I've asked a question at https://gitter.im/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts about it.

That's strange. I installed RobotoMono Nerd Font on my desktop (using gnome-terminal) and the spacing seemed to be identical to Roboto Mono. So I expect it's not an issue with the font itself.

Having downloaded both the font you linked and the one in this repo, there's a clear difference between the two.
From your link:

Indeed - I've created an issue at ryanoasis/nerd-fonts#220 with your screenshots.

I think you're mistaken - both of the fonts in the screenshots are from nerd-fonts, not google. The first one is from ryanoasis/nerd-fonts, and the second one is straight from termux/styling. So I think the issue is with the latter and not the former.

Ah, sorry for being confused.

I actually wrote the wrong link to the nerd-tree font file used, it should be (note the Mono at the end):

• https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts/raw/master/patched-fonts/RobotoMono/complete/Roboto%20Mono%20Nerd%20Font%20Complete%20Mono.ttf

Does this font have the spacing issue, while

• https://github.com/google/fonts/raw/master/apache/robotomono/RobotoMono-Regular.ttf

does not?

from termux-styling.

Yes. Neither RobotoMono-Regular.ttf nor Roboto Mono Nerd Font Complete.ttf have the issue, but Roboto Mono Nerd Font Complete Mono.ttf does.

I understand that you're waiting on a fix from ryanoasis/nerd-fonts, but as a temporary fix, I suggest removing the final 'Mono' from the end of the filename in the .sh setup script. Would this work?
