### About the Term variant
218-
219-
`IoskeleyMono-Term` uses `spacing = "term"`, which constrains every glyph to its cell boundary. Use it if arrows (`→ ← ↑ ↓`), box-drawing characters, or ligatures render incorrectly in your terminal emulator (known affected: kitty, Ghostty). The glyph design is identical to the standard variant.

`Ioskeley Mono Term` uses `spacing = "term"`, which constrains every glyph to its cell boundary. Use it if arrows (`→ ← ↑ ↓`), box-drawing characters, or ligatures render incorrectly in your terminal (known affected: kitty, Ghostty). The glyph design is identical to the standard variant — it's purely a spacing change.

### About the NL variant
74+
75+
`Ioskeley Mono NL` has all ligature substitutions disabled. Use it in apps that can't toggle ligatures off themselves (e.g. Xcode). Everything else — weights, widths, glyph shapes, metrics — is identical to the standard variant.
