Also, the older deprecated [vim-powerline][a] uses different font codes compared to the current [powerline][b], and the switch above will automatically select codes from the new version. If you want to use the old font codes, you can `:h airline` and copy/paste the configuration variables in the customization section.

If you are using vim in the Terminal on OSX, check that the environment variables `LC_ALL` and `LANG` are set to a sensible value (such as en_US.UTF8). If `:echo &encoding` does not show `utf8` there is a very good chance that these settings are not correct.

If you are using fontconfig, make sure bitmap fonts are not disabled. That rule, if exists, is usually under /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf for linux users, which might be a symbolic link. If that's the case, remove that link so that bitmap fonts are available system-wide.

#### The powerline font symbols are partially messed up

Also make sure Terminal uses the same font style (e.g. Meslo) as specified in your vimrc.

You are likely using the [fontconfig](https://powerline.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation/linux.html#font-installation) method. If that is the case, you need to override the space character like so:

All of the themes use a 256 terminal color palette. It's likely that the value of `t_Co` is misconfigured. please see this [article][n] on how to configure your terminal. Pull requests for 8 and 16 color terminals are welcome.

Certain themes are derived from the active colorscheme by extracting colors from predefined highlight groups. These airline themes will look good for their intended matching colorschemes, but will be hit or miss when loaded with other colorschemes.

You need [fugitive](https://github.com/tpope/vim-fugitive) to see the current git branch. If you have it and still don't see it then you are probably using version 1.2, which is very old. vim-airline relies on a `fugitive#head()` function. Download v2 from the [project page][d].

vim-airline internally uses autocmds to change colors, and the order of autocmds may change from one configuration to the next. Sometimes this means that if you use things like `BufEnter` you may find that the colors go out of sync. vim-airline exposes a command `AirlineRefresh` which you can use to reload all the colors manually.
