Why is there a mono version of Inconsolata?
After installing the InconsolataGo font from the Arch package `extra/ttf-inconsolata-go-nerd`, I see there is an `Inconsolata Nerd Font, Regular` and an `Inconsolata Nerd Font Mono, Regular`. Both are monospace. This seems common with fonts that are intended as fixed width.

Why is there two identical version of this font? Is there some general reason for why there must be a `mono` and non-`mono`, when the font is `mono`-only by design?
