This font is manually patched with Fontforge. It includes the glyphs from DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline.
I recommend DirectWrite-patched VIM builds. I'm using KaoriYa's build (http://www.kaoriya.net/software/vim/)
Add the following lines to your .vimrc/_vimrc:
if has("mac") || has("macunix")
set guifont=Monaco\ for\ Powerline:h24
elseif has("win32") || has("win64")
set guifont=Monaco\ for\ Powerline:h14:cANSI
set renderoptions=type:directx,renmode:5
endif
- KaoriYa's gvim build
- MacVim
- iTerm2 + oh-my-zsh
- PuTTy
- Babun (mintty)
I believe if a font-family does not come with a italic version, the font gets artificially skewed, even over their monospaced boundaries, which creates this odd effect. Try to disable the use of italics in your colorscheme config (look for all the lines
gui=italic
).edit this Stackoverflow thread speaks of this more verbose.
