ISSUE!
Almost all issues are configuration-specific. Issues missing this file will
be closed.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Download iTerm2 previous stable release (early 2013 version??)
- Download and install powerline, configured for vim/tmux: https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline
2a. Notice that powerline does not look visually pleasing (it has missing character marks all over). - Download and setup iTerm2 to use a powerline font: https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts
3b. Notice that the new font makes the powerline in vim look visually pleasing (as in vim-powerline.png) - Upgrade iTerm2 to latest stable release 1.0.0.20130622
- Open vim or tmux in iTerm2 and notice broken font
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect that iTerm2 will use the patched font while running powerline to display a visual interface as in the attached screenshot (vim-powerline.png).
Instead, I am seeing unknown character marks as in the attached screenshot (Screen Shot ... .png)
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
iTerm2 1.0.0.20130622
Mac OS X 10.8.4 Build 12E55
