Literation Mono Powerline Not Aviable on Windows

[danielnehrig]

All fonts are installed into the font folder from windows also installed into home folder ~/.fonts (installation process of font-master/install.sh) also installed into /usr/share/fonts

Please provide some more details. How did you manage to install the font to ~/.fonts and /usr/share/fonts on windows?

[danielnehrig]

Oh sure. Im using cygwin with the mintty terminal and zsh shell

I'm also having trouble using Li[bt]eration fonts in Windows.

I know that MinTTY considers fonts to be monospace only if all glyphs are the same width. Or something like that. I believe there's a CLI option to use a font anyway. Maybe a registry entry.

But I'm also seeing this problem with WSL's terminal emulator. I tried editing the registry key FaceName within Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console\C:_Program Files_WindowsApps_TheDebianProject.DebianGNULinux_1.1.6.0_x64__76v4gfsz19hv4_debian.exe to use Literation Mono Powerline (the full name of the font). It worked.

However, this is definitely not the same as the Liberation font. At least currently. The serifs are all different, most noticeably on l. It's supposed to have a bottom that curls to the right, not an upside-down T.

I guess I'm going to live without Powerline symbols...

Update The glyph for l was changed in Liberation fonts 2.00.4. See the commit message on: https://github.com/liberationfonts/liberation-fonts/commit/3714df3687c0229c8c894122b8a2ef82d1528515 I have to decide if I like the new version too much...
