After I tried so many coder friendly fonts (nerd fonts and others). I only use patched font from https://github.com/gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts/tree/... because it's the only fonts that can do oh-my-git style https://github.com/arialdomartini/oh-my-git

If you need other code fonts except using oh-my-git, you can take a look at nerd fonts https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts

You'll be so amazed when you discover FontConfig fallback. You can tell freetype to use certain fonts as fallbacks if the font you are using doesn't provide a certain glyph.

Awesome indeed. But oh-my-git is shipped with 3 themes only. So I just stick with their themes. Other methods are way too complicate to fix font issues. All I want is just a font that can be imported into font book or fontforge and let my iTerm2/Terminal to use. That's all.
