About:
Droid Sans Mono for Powerline is a patched version of the Droid Sans Mono font, specifically modified to include the extra glyphs required by Powerline. It provides developers with a clean, monospaced font that displays Powerline status line plugins and vim-airline symbols correctly. Its main value is seamless integration with terminal environments and code editors that use Powerline for enhanced status bars and prompts.
Key Features:
  • Includes Powerline-specific glyphs and symbols
  • Monospaced design for clean code alignment
  • Patched for seamless terminal and editor integration
  • Part of the extensive Powerline fonts collection
Use Cases:
  • Customizing terminal emulators (e.g., iTerm2, Terminal) with Powerline status lines
  • Enhancing code editors (e.g., Vim, Neovim) with vim-airline or similar status bar plugins
Alternatives:
  • font-meslo-for-powerline – Another popular Powerline-patched font with a different base design (Meslo)
  • font-fira-code – Includes programming ligatures but is not specifically patched for Powerline by default
