This repository contains pre-patched and adjusted fonts for usage with the Powerline statusline plugin.

Run ./install.sh to install all Powerline Fonts or see the documentation for details.

If you are running a Debian or Ubuntu based Linux distribution, there should be a package available to install the Powerline Fonts with the following command:

sudo apt-get install fonts-powerline

For fedora (tested on 28) or redhat based Linux distribution, there should also be a package available to install with the following command:

sudo dnf install powerline-fonts

On other environments, you can copy and paste these commands to your terminal. Comments are fine too.

# clone
git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts.git --depth=1
# install
cd fonts
./install.sh
# clean-up a bit
cd ..
rm -rf fonts

Run ./uninstall.sh to uninstall all Powerline Fonts. You can also copy the quick installation commands changing only the line ./install.sh to ./uninstall.sh.

In both cases, please make sure you are working with the exact same version of Powerline fonts you had checked out while installing.

iTerm2 users need to set both the Regular font and the Non-ASCII Font in "iTerm > Preferences > Profiles > Text" to use a patched font (per this issue).

In some distributions, Terminess Powerline is ignored by default and must be explicitly allowed. A fontconfig file is provided which enables it. Copy this file from the fontconfig directory to your home folder under ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d (create it if it doesn't exist) and re-run fc-cache -vf.
