About:
This package installs a patched version of the DejaVu Sans Mono font, enhanced with Powerline glyphs. It provides developers with a monospaced font that supports the special characters used by Powerline status line plugins for shells, Vim, and other terminal applications. The main value is seamless integration of status bars and prompts without missing or broken symbols.

Key Features:

Includes Powerline-specific glyphs (e.g., branch icons, separators)
Based on the popular open-source DejaVu Sans Mono font
Monospaced design ideal for coding and terminal use
Ensures proper rendering in Powerline-enabled tools like tmux and Vim

Use Cases:

Customizing terminal prompts and status lines with tools like Powerline or Oh My Zsh themes
Ensuring consistent glyph display in Vim/Neovim with Powerline status bars
Providing a complete font for developers using Powerline in their shell environment (e.g., bash, zsh)

Alternatives:

font-meslo-for-powerline – Another popular Powerline font based on Apple's Menlo font.
font-source-code-pro-for-powerline – Powerline-patched version of Adobe's Source Code Pro font.
