Thanks for the detailed issue report, @linevych. You're awesome. Also, my sincere sympathies for both you and the Ukraine at this traumatizing time in Eastern Europe. We're very aware of the ongoing conflict (which appears to have no resolution in sight) in distant Canada, where I live.

On a happier note: I hadn't re-installed the Powerline fonts in ages and failed to notice that upstream has significantly changed. I've resolved both the issue that you've noted here and added support for the twenty or so new Powerline-patched fonts added by upstream with additional USE flags (e.g., spacemono, tinos).

Thanks again – and let us know if you hit any other significant roadbumps. Cheers! :hugs:
