Emacs powerline not displaying arrow


I am trying to configure emacs powerline, after trying multiple times, i still can't get it working correctly as shown in the figure below.

enter image description here

It seems to me that some font is missing in my system, but i don't know which one. I am using Mac El Capitan, the emacs version is 24.5.1.


Solution

  • try use following command

    # clone
    git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts.git
    # install
    cd fonts
    ./install.sh
    # clean-up a bit
    cd ..
    rm -rf fonts
    

    You may need to manually select your favorite powerline font
