Hello, The Theme has a small problem on my terminal

[netcan]

the theme is so cool but on my terminal isn't perfect. I install the awesome powerline fonts, and arg POWERLEVEL9K_MODE='awesome-patched'

Hi @netcan
What terminal emulator do you use?

You seem to have two problems:

1. your terminal doesn't support 256 colors. Try to set TERM=xterm-256colors, or similar.
2. your terminal seems to use the wrong font. Have you chosen an awesome-patched font in the settings of your terminal emulator?

[netcan]

I use the terminal is gnome-terminal，and Built-In schemes is XTerm，in ~/.zshrc，I export TERM="xterm-256color"，and POWERLEVEL9K_MODE='awesome-patched' but dosen't work.
The picture show my terminal fontset, is it?

[dritter]

@netcan Yep. For this theme you need a special font.

If you use awesome-patched, you need a awesome-font.
In all other cases, you need an powerline-font

That should do the trick ;)

[netcan]

But it look like dosen't work...and this is my ~/.zshrc

[dritter]

This is still the wrong font.

To clear things up:
In awesome-patched mode you need either a font that combines the original awesome font, octoicons and a powerline-patched font or a mechanism to use a normal font and fall back to the right one. The awesome-terminal-fonts repository suggests the latter way, but offers in its patching-strategy a already combined font (first way).
If the second way doesn't work for you, just download one of the already patched fonts here.

I assume, you just installed the "awesome-font" from the "fonts" directory, which is just the normal awesome-font and does not include octoicons and powerline..

Let me know, if that worked. :)

[netcan]

em. It work! I use already patched fonts...Thanks

[dritter]

Good to hear! You are welcome :)

[dritter]

Btw. Could you mark this issue as resolved and close it? Thx.

Hi! Could someone help me?

I'm having almost the same problem as @netcan's.

Then I saw @dritter's comment

But I didn't figure out how to resolve this issue.

I'm using zsh on gnome-terminal, and the cited fonts from gabrielelana/awesome-terminal-fonts@c24e7e1 (patching-strategy branch) were copied to .fonts but don't appear on font selection.

Thanks!

Hi @paulochf !

It seems like you mixed two things together.

Either you install awesome-terminal-fonts with fontcache (normal installation). Then you have to copy the fallback-fonts to ~/.fonts.

Or you just install an already patched font (patching-strategy). Then all you have to do, is to download one of the three fonts from here and install it (usually something like doubleclicking it, and clicking at "install font").

[paulochf]

Hey @dritter!

Ok, so (I guess) I removed the awesome-terminal-fonts and tried the patching-strategy. Downloaded the 3 fonts from your link to ~/.fonts. When double-clicked, it opened the Font Viewer and there's a grey shaded button "Installed".

So, I went to ~/.zshrc and enabled the theme

ZSH_THEME="powerlevel9k/powerlevel9k"
POWERLEVEL9K_MODE="awesome-patched"

but then

Did I miss anything?

Edit for future reference: I did miss some things.

1. in ~/.zshrc: added line export TERM=xterm-256color as in this comment
2. changed gnome-terminal's font: Edit->Profile Preferences->General Tab, chose one of the downloaded fonts.

And voila

Thanks! =D

@paulochf That looks awesome! :) Glad that you figured it out.
I think we need a simpler installation tutorial..
