Installing glyphs on powerlevel9k

I've installed powerlevel9k on zshell. How do I install glyphs for my terminal?

I've tried installing font-awesome and I've set POWERLEVEL9K_MODE='awesome-fontconfig' but it still doesn't work.

Also what is awesome-fontconfig? If it's a config file, do I have to create one after I download font-awesome? Where do I put this config file?

Solution

  • You need to:

    1. Install the font.
    2. Configure your terminal emulator to use that font.
    3. Tell P9k what font configuration to use.

    It sounds like you've done steps 1 and 3, but perhaps not step 2? More information is on the P9k wiki: https://github.com/bhilburn/powerlevel9k/wiki/Install-Instructions#step-2-install-a-powerline-font
