Power Line fonts? #476

Can we integrate so we can get working zsh prompts? I looked into how its done today and looks like it requires to build into the app rather than use the systems existing font store.

HD Hermit (Modern) works for me. I use vim-airline with the promptline.vim and tmuxline.vim extensions on top of zsh.

With 1.1.0 you are able to use any system font so you can install them separately.

@Swordfish90 what is the criteria by which it filters the system fonts? I am not seeing all my fonts in the dropdown menu. Not even all monospaced fonts are there.

@cvuorinen at least for me in Linux, it appears to look in /usr/share/fonts but not in the local user font cache. So it seems that they must be truly system fonts rather than just installed fonts.

For me, it works with I open it from my terminal: image

But will not work if I open it directly from the .desktop or with 'terminator -e "cool-retro-term"' : image

Any tip on how to investigate this?
