** How to fix package download errors when installing Spacemacs ?
Since 0.105.0 HTTPS protocol is used by default to download packages. If your
environment does not allow HTTPS to reach ELPA repositories then you can start
Emacs with the =--insecure= argument for force the usage of HTTP non secured
protocol.
Then you can set the variable =dotspacemacs-elpa-https= to =nil= in your
dotfile to remove the need to start Emacs with =--insecure== argument.
** The Spacemacs banner is ugly, what should I do?
Install the default font supported by Spacemacs or choose a fixed width font.
