+    Tamzen is a monospace bitmap font. It is programatically forked
+    from Tamsyn version 1.11, which backports glyphs from older
+    versions while deleting deliberately empty glyphs to allow
+    secondary/fallback fonts to provide real glyphs at those codepoints.
+    Tamzen also has fonts that additionally provide the Powerline
+    symbols.
