Terminus (TTF) for Powerline
works best as a secondary font (for me)
URxvt.font: xft:Terminus:pixelsize=14:antialias=false:hinting=false:autohint=false, xft:Terminus (TTF) for Powerline:pixelsize=16:antialias=false:hinting=false:autohint=false
URxvt.boldFont: xft:Terminus:bold:pixelsize=14:antialias=false:hinting=false:autohint=false, xft:Terminus (TTF) for Powerline:bold:pixelsize=16:antialias=false:hinting=false:autohint=false

Thanks finally that works for me (powerline in urxvt terminal).
I set antialias and hinting ON for backup font, otherwise it is like sawtooth on some special symbols.

Does someone know how to get this running in uxterm?

I don't get it running, copied the into ~/.fonts and ran fc-cache -vf and added the lines to my ~/.Xresources file but I don't get the symbols to work, do I have to change the name of the font in the config, as it doesn't match the name of the font files? please give me a hint

I am trying to use terminus in chrome's ssh extension.
I used https://everythingfonts.com/ttf-to-woff2 to convert these fonts to woff2. It worked, but I experienced 2 issues:

  1. The powerline symbols were missing
  2. The fonts has a scanline between each row (as if each font is 1 pixel too short)

How did you create these tff files? I would like to follow your process and try for myself, but I don't know how to take the files here https://github.com/powerline/fonts/tree/master/Terminus and make tff files. Thanks!
