@ -71,36 +71,18 @@ but some fonts may look terrible, in which case you'll have to use a patched
font (see :ref:`font-patching` for details).
1. Download the `latest version of PowerlineSymbols
<https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline/raw/develop/powerline/fontpatcher/PowerlineSymbols.otf>`_.
2. Move :file:`PowerlineSymbols.otf` to :file:`~/.fonts`.
<https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline/raw/develop/font/PowerlineSymbols.otf>`_
and the `latest version of the fontconfig file
<https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline/raw/develop/font/10-powerline-symbols.conf>`_.
2. Move :file:`PowerlineSymbols.otf` to :file:`~/.fonts/`.
3. Run ``fc-cache -vf ~/.fonts`` to update your font cache.
4. Edit your fontconfig file, located in either :file:`~/.fonts.conf` or
:file:`~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf`, depending on your fontconfig
version. If your fontconfig file is empty, add the entire code block
below. If you already have a custom font configuration, only add the
``<alias>`` block to your font configuration:
.. code-block:: xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<alias>
<family>monospace</family>
<prefer>
<family>PowerlineSymbols</family>
<family>YOUR MONOSPACE FONT HERE</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
</fontconfig>
Remember to replace ``YOUR MONOSPACE FONT HERE`` with your preferred
coding font.
5. Configure your terminal emulator or gvim to use the ``monospace`` font.
6. If you still don't see the arrow symbols, please close all instances of
your terminal emulator or gvim. You may also have to restart X for the
changes to take effect.
4. Move :file:`10-powerline-symbols.conf` to either :file:`~/.fonts.conf.d/`
or :file:`~/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/`, depending on your fontconfig
version.
5. If you don't see the arrow symbols, please close all instances of your
terminal emulator or gvim. You may also have to restart X for the changes
to take effect. If you *still* don't see the arrow symbols, please submit
an issue on GitHub.
