Update the character used from powerline

[gdetrez]

In the current version of the font, the fancy glyphs have been moved to the Private Use Area: powerline/powerline#4

The code points have been updated in 53fbfe1

This updates the agnoster theme accordingly.

[dvcrn]

Having some troubles with this.
Updated agnoster theme + patched font, but still can't see the glyphs. OS X with iTerm2 here. Cleared font cache

Am I the only one?

[joshka]

I also have the same issue, definitely caused by this update.

[gdetrez]

I don't know anything about iTerm or OS X but you can try the following command to see if your font uses the right code points:

echo -e "\xee\x82\xa0\xee\x82\xa1\xee\x82\xa2\xee\x82\xb0\xee\x82\xb1\xee\x82\xb2\xee\x82\xb3"

should print:

What fonts are you using?

The 'patched' fonts from various places including https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts do not match these code points.

[gdetrez]

I'm using PowerlineSymbols.otf directly.

I tried the following test on https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts and it looks like they have been updated to the the new code points:

$ find powerline-fonts-master -name "*.[ot]tf" -print0 -exec python -c "from fontTools.ttLib import TTFont ; print '\t', ord(u'\ue0b0') in TTFont('{}')['cmap'].getcmap(3,1).cmap.keys()" \;

I have this issue too.

[nudelfabrik]

same here, #1872 broke the fancy icons with agnoster and https://gist.github.com/qrush/1595572

[gdetrez]

@nudelfabrik the fonts you point to use the old code points, you have to update or patch the font yourself.

[nudelfabrik]

Ok, searched for another Font, that worked. Thanks @gdetrez

[chuangbo]

I resolve my problem by purge the old fonts and reinstall. Thanks.

[dvcrn]

What fonts are you using?
Just tried manual patching of some fonts on my system but no success. Still no glyphs

[chuangbo]

@dabido Menlo from https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts. Try purge the old fonts and quit iTerm first.

[chuangbo]

@dabido And making sure you set both 'Regular Font' and 'Non-ASCII Font' either.

[dvcrn]

All right, here's what I did:

• Deleted the old font
• Force cleared my trash bin (rm -rf ~/.Trash/*)
• Cleared font cache (sudo atsutil databases -remove)
• Installed new font
• Set as regular font and non ascii-font

Works fine now, thanks!

[joshka]

Thanks dabido, that works for me

Hello.
I'm on Ubuntu 13.04 with Terminal GNOME v3.6.1.
I have solved the problem with this command lines :

mkdir -p ~/.fonts/ && cd ~/.fonts/ 
wget https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline/raw/develop/font/PowerlineSymbols.otf
fc-cache -vf ~/.fonts  
mkdir -p ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/ && cd ~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/
wget https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline/raw/develop/font/10-powerline-symbols.conf

[h0jeZvgoxFepBQ2C]

I changed my agnoster.theme to SEGMENT_SEPARATOR='⮀' on line 29. works now (was displaying a box before)

[Kaweechelchen]

@dabido 's post helped me ;)
thx
#1872 (comment)

[HelloGrayson]

@lichtamberg worked for me thanks (mavericks/iterm2 w menlo patched)

For any one having troubles with a broken prompt, follow these instructions https://powerline.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation/linux.html#fontconfig and it should do the trick. I have to say thanks to @emyller for the solution, thanks man. Ive been on this for hours :) 👍
