Arrow doesn't work in terminal mode

[pmcao]

Hi

When I run emacs with terminal mode, the arrow doesn't appear...Running with the GUI version working fine. I am using emacs 24 for macosx.

Is there any workaround for this?

Thanks.

Not that I've found as of yet - sorry about this. I do have plans to get this working under terminal mode as the GUI seems to be the more stable version of emacs-powerline.

Any idea implement those features under terminal mode ? I really like this theme but I am using terninal now :( anyway, :+1: for you :)

May be, use fontpatcher to display the powerline symbols in terminal kinda like what vim-powerline does.

+1 .. Previously used vim-airline with the custom font pack here - https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts (and using e.g. \ue0b0). Been looking at trying to implement this but my emacs knowledge is 24 hours old so steep learning curve.

@ianbattersby Frankly, no one really is an expert, until you sit down and do it ! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

:+1: @bassu I'm going to devote some time to this very soon to fix up. I'm aware of the current issues with Emacs 24.4, so this is definitely still on my radar. Apologies on the lack of response and update on this everyone - I'll try harder to block off some time for this in the near future. :panda_face:

@bassu Sure thing, and I will, unless someone beats me to it! I have some other OSS stuff to do but it's on my list regardless.

Is there someone still working on this issue? It would be great if this feature gets implemented. I'd love to put myself to work on it. ( But I don't have much experience with emacs lisp though. )

[bassu]

@peco8 Well, then it's a good thing to start doing it. Land of the Lisp

While I'm using the "system built-in" terminal or mintty with WSL (Ubuntu), it works rather properly except either arrow or curve is shown as vertical line for GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu) text terminal version. but when I’m using mintty as cygwin terminal，emacs-powerline dosen't work for GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 1, x86_64-unknown-cygwin) text terminal version. So, is there any workroud for emacs in cygwin?
