  "github_readme_excerpt": "Menlo for Powerline\n===================\n\nMenlo font patched to work with Powerline. Menlo\u0027s always been may favorite font to use on OS X while programming, but I was annoyed that I couldn\u0027t find a properly patched file anywhere. After a bit of trial and error, I managed to create a working version. If you find any errors with the font, please let me know.\n\nOS X\n-----\n\n**1.** Double click the font in Find and select \"Install this font.\" It will appear to have some very strange glyphs but will work as intended. \n\n**2.** If you use MacVim, add the following line to your `vimrc`:\n\n```\nset guifont=Menlo\\ for\\ Powerline\n```\n\n**3.** For use with Terminal.app or iTerm, change your settings according. You should select your font as `Menlo for Powerline`.\n\n**4.** Enjoy!\n\nLinux\n-----\n\n**NB:** I have not actually tried this, but it should work. I don\u0027t have access to a Linux machine, but these commands *should* be correct. \n\n**1.** Copy `Menlo for Powerline.ttf` into your `~/.fonts` directory. (Or any X font directory)\n```\n$ cp \"Menlo for Powerline.ttf\" ~/.fonts\n```\n\n**2.** Update your fonts cache.\n```\n$ fc-cache -vf ~/.fonts\n```\nIf you\u0027re in a terminal, you may or may not need to restart all windows before changes take effect.\n\n**3.** If you use gvim, add the following line to your `vimrc`:\n\n```\nset guifont=Menlo\\ for\\ Powerline\n```\n\n**4.** For use with the terminal, change your settings according.\n\n**5.** Enjoy!\n\n\nBold, Italic, Bold Italic\n-------------------------\n\nAs far as I know, these extra font styles should work. I\u0027ve had absolutely not problems with them, however, you may run into an issue. I added them as to provide support for bold, italic, and bold italic fonts within the terminal. Please let me know if you have any issues.\n",
