Icons not showing in power themes

See original GitHub issue

When enabling a theme (like -t solarized-powerline or -t powerline) colours work however the icons do not.

Trying to figure out how to take screenshots with scrot now, will post a comment with a screenshot soon. Running Debian 9.

Hm, that looks like you don’t have the powerline fonts installed?

Maybe the problem goes away if you do sudo pacman -S powerline-fonts awesome-terminal-fonts ? (not sure whether pango uses the TTF or the terminal fonts for awesome, honestly)

Also, if you want to see whether Inconsolata looks better, you need to install ttf-inconsolata.

I really hope this helps resolve the issue, as I’m running out of ideas 😛

Oh, man you are the savior! Thanks a lot!

sudo pacman -S powerline-fonts awesome-terminal-fonts fixed it immediately!

So I didn’t get how to install fonts apparently.

But I followed the installation procedure on powerline fonts page. Can you tell me what should I do to install them properly in the future?

Thanks again!
