+JetBrains Mono Variable Font
+============================
+
+This download contains JetBrains Mono as both variable fonts and static fonts.
+
+JetBrains Mono is a variable font with this axis:
+ wght
+
+This means all the styles are contained in these files:
+ JetBrainsMono-VariableFont_wght.ttf
+ JetBrainsMono-Italic-VariableFont_wght.ttf
+
+If your app fully supports variable fonts, you can now pick intermediate styles
+that aren’t available as static fonts. Not all apps support variable fonts, and
+in those cases you can use the static font files for JetBrains Mono:
+ static/JetBrainsMono-Thin.ttf
+ static/JetBrainsMono-ExtraLight.ttf
+ static/JetBrainsMono-Light.ttf
+ static/JetBrainsMono-Regular.ttf
+ static/JetBrainsMono-Medium.ttf
+ static/JetBrainsMono-SemiBold.ttf
+ static/JetBrainsMono-Bold.ttf
+ static/JetBrainsMono-ExtraBold.ttf
+ static/JetBrainsMono-ThinItalic.ttf
+ static/JetBrainsMono-ExtraLightItalic.ttf
+ static/JetBrainsMono-LightItalic.ttf
+ static/JetBrainsMono-Italic.ttf
+ static/JetBrainsMono-MediumItalic.ttf
+ static/JetBrainsMono-SemiBoldItalic.ttf
+ static/JetBrainsMono-BoldItalic.ttf
+ static/JetBrainsMono-ExtraBoldItalic.ttf
+

+1. Install the font files you want to use
+
