# faq
# prerequisites
for this plugin to work properly `lazyredraw` needs to be set. during development i had this on the entire time, and it turns out that this has a major impact in colors being able to change prompty (ironic that lazy == eager here). i'm still tracking down the cause and hopefully in the future this requirement can be removed.
# faq/troubleshooting
1. the powerline font symbols are not showing up
* the older deprecated [vim-powerline][a] uses different codes compared to the newer [powerline][b].
* you can grab prepatched fonts at [powerline-fonts][c], or you can manually set the relevant `g:` variables
2. there is a pause when leaving insert mode
* you need to set `ttimeoutlen` to a low number; 50 is recommended
3. the colors don't change properly
* the plugin was developed with `lazyredraw` on, and it appears that this setting has a big impact. please turn it on to see if that fixes it, and file a bug so it can be tracked.
4. you get the error `Unknown function: fugitive#head`
3. you get the error `Unknown function: fugitive#head`
* you are probably using version 1.2, which is very old...download v2 from the [project page][d].
