Powerline-patched Monaco for Windows and OSX

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/)

Usage

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

Tested software

  • KaoriYa's gvim build
  • MacVim
  • iTerm2 + oh-my-zsh
  • PuTTy
  • Babun (mintty)

Just the slightest bit taller/blurry compared to the Monaco that comes with Mavericks. But still, thank you. Works on OSX 10.9.5 on Terminal.app

It works fine on Windows, but it don't contain supscript number 4, 5, ... , Could you add them, since they are convenient as tab numbers in airline-tabline plugin. THX! :)

@kevinis Can you please share how did you patch the font? I tried to patch Monaco by myself, but the line height looks too high.

Made it by shamelessly copying metrics of this font to my fontforge settings.
