Vscode: Powerline fonts in terminal incorrect

[jchannon]

• VSCode Version: 1.2.0-insiders
• OS Version: OSX

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open Code from terminal
2. Open integrated terminal
3. See fonts are broken
4. This may be some Powerline font issue in tty but seems to work ok in Atom integrated terminal ok
5. Picture below shows code, bottom terminal is what it should look like

@jchannon I haven't used these before. Do I install from https://github.com/powerline/fonts and then use some special characters in my prompt?

[jchannon]

Nope just use those fonts, install OH MY ZSH and then maybe set the theme
to be something like here:

This might be caused by lack of proper locale. See #7301 for workaround.

i am having the same issue on linux with zsh

Same issue here on Linux, 1.2 release.

OS: Ubuntu Gnome 16.04
Shell: Zsh (oh-my-zsh)
Zsh theme: powerlevel9k
Font: Ubuntu Mono derivative Powerline Regular

I tried the mac workaround but unfortunately it did nothing.

@jchannon I had this issue on OS X. It has to do with the Terminal not using the editor.fontFamily setting, can you try setting your terminal.integrated.fontFamily to the same powerline font used in editor.fontFamily?

[JuHwon]

setting the terminal.integrated.fontFamily in my User Settings file fixed it. thx.

[jchannon]

That seems to do the trick however, the colours are different and the right hand side seems off

[reaktivo]

Let's wait to get Terminal theme support, but that's another issue. About the time on the right, I guess the terminal is reporting incorrect terminal column width.

[Tyriar]

Great to hear that the main issue is the font wasn't being set. In 1.3.0 the font's default fallback is editor.fontFamily but you can set it explicitly with terminal.integrated.fontFamily https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/6791

I'm going to close this off but these issues may still be blocking this:

• Terminal themes https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/6979
• Correctly represent full width characters https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/7448, https://github.com/sourcelair/xterm.js/issues/62

I am having the same issue on OS X with zsh

font, SourceCodePro+Powerline+AwesomeRegular
font source, https://github.com/stefano-meschiari/dotemacs/blob/master/SourceCodePro%2BPowerline%2BAwesome%2BRegular.ttf

@xujipm try these instructions https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/15119#issuecomment-259248159

[xujipm]

@Tyriar i have try that way, but didn't work~

[Gkjsdll]

@xujipm I use the same font and this worked for me:
"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "'SourceCodePro+Powerline+Awesome Regular'"
Note the single quotes inside of the double quotes.
