Terminus Powerline

Intended for use with terminals on GNU/Linux

Installation

1. Extract to ~/.local/share/fonts/X11/misc/terminus/. You'll likely need to create this directory.
2. Move the file 50-enable-terminus.conf to /etc/fonts/conf.d/ and run sudo chown root:root /etc/fonts/conf.d/50-enable-powerline.conf. This will require root privileges.
3. Open a terminal and run fc-cache ~/.local/share/fonts/X11/misc/terminus/.
4. Edit your terminal configuration to use the font:
• Terminator – right click, click Preferences, click the Profiles tab, change the font near the top, and click Close.
• urxvt – add urxvt*font: -*-terminus-*-*-*-*-*-12-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- to ~/.Xresources, run xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources, and restart your terminal.

Consolas Powerline

Intended for use with PuTTY on Windows

Installation

1. Extract the archive.
2. Highlight all of the files, right click them, and click Install. They will not replace the pre-installed Consolas.
3. Configure your applications to use the font:
• PuTTY – (at left) click Appearance under Window, click the Change button, select the font, and click OK. You'll probably want to save this as your default profile in the Session section.
• Command Prompt – unfortunately Windows' Console Host (conhost.exe) that displays Command Prompt will not support the font, due to glyphs overflowing their container.
