I would like to make the terminal render text with a powerline compatible font

(Using snowflake on Windows)

Do they render correctly on Putty?

Wondering if it's the issue with Host Windows machine not having the powerline fonts installed.

It's due to the lack of ability to choose the font used to render the terminal in, so it will use the default, non-powerline font (Consolas?). So it would be an enhancement to add the option to change fonts. Edit: Enhancement already requested in #58
