# A symbol in the statusline looks is overdrawn
This is typically an issue with your terminal which does not correctly draw the symbol. You can configure other symbols, please check the [Documentation](https://github.com/vim-airline/vim-airline/blob/ebb89a0846ff8b8bc64579155d661b825f97d3f2/doc/airline.txt#L369-L389). You can check how it looks like in your terminal using the following command:

```
Another cause can be 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:
if !exists('g:airline_symbols')
let g:airline_symbols = {}
endif
let g:airline_symbols.space = "\ua0"
# The powerline font symbols are not showing up
Adding `let g:airline_powerline_fonts = 1` to your vimrc will automatically populate the `g:airline_symbols` dictionary with the proper font glyphs for various symbols.

This is a complicated issue with no easy solution. Depending on the operating system, the font you have installed, the font you have patched, how the font was patched, terminal vs GUI, which terminal emulator itself (and how the emulator is configured), what font size, all have an effect on how the font turns on.
