Vim powerline (Lokaltog's) weird characters in MacVim

问题:

I'm trying to use Powerline plugin (https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline) for the first time.

Plugin seems to be installed. I use vundle with the following command:

Bundle 'Lokaltog/powerline', {'rtp':  'powerline/bindings/vim'} 

I've tried many different settings, but currently in my vimrc it looks like this:

set guifont=Menlo\ Regular\ for\ Powerline:h15 "set guifont=Monaco\ Regular:h15 " set rtp+=~/.vim/bundle/powerline/powerline/bindings/vim let g:Powerline_symbols = 'fancy' "let g:Powerline_symbols = 'compatible' "let g:Powerline_cache_enabled = 1 "set t_Co=256 

I've also pasted commented out some of the commands I've tried.

I've tried different fonts, patched and normal, but nothing helps.

laststatus is set to 2.

I'm using MacVim on Mac OS X 10.8.2.

Here's how the powerline with 2 windows looks for me:

Note the weird boxed 'x' symbols...

Any ideas?

回答1:

You're referring to two different plugins. vim-powerline is the old vim-only project. Lokaltog/powerline is a new Python-based port, and the code points have changed in this version because the old code points caused a bunch of issues.

You'll have to either:

1. Update your bundle to point to vim-powerline (and remove the rtp option), or
2. Update your font to one of the fonts in https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts (or patch your own)

I had the same problem. I downloaded "Menlo Regular for Powerline.otf" from https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts

I then double clicked on the otf file, which opens up the Font Book application. I clicked install, despite the font giving gibberish symbols in the window. I then set that font as the font for my terminal (simply set it in your termnial preferenes). This fixed the problem in regular terminal vim ($ vim), but did not fix it in MacVim. To fix it in MacVim, I had to add the following line to my .vimrc file:

set guifont=Menlo\ For\ Powerline 

The backslashes are necessary to escape the spaces. Everything works great now. Hope this helps others.

Edit: To add a bit more detail, my .vimrc looks like this now:

""" FOR STATUSLINE set encoding=utf-8 " Necessary to show Unicode glyphs let g:Powerline_symbols = 'fancy' set rtp+=/Users/nate/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/powerline/bindings/vim set nocompatible   " Disable vi-compatibility set laststatus=2   " Always show the statusline " For powerline font in MacVim set guifont=Menlo\ For\ Powerline

If you are using command-line vim (i.e. not a GUI implementation) you may need to specify the patched font in your terminal's preferences.

回答4:

adding this to the vimrc file fixed it for me:

set guifont=Source\ Code\ Pro\ for\ Powerline "make sure to escape the spaces in the name properly 

Source: https://github.com/bling/vim-airline/issues/142

回答5:

Also make sure you have the right fonts not just the right name get them from https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts and that let g:airline_powerline_fonts = 1 that if your using airline

Note:For example "Source code pro" font from http://fontsquirrel.com will give this effect but the "Source code pro for powerline" from the link above will not

回答6:

In my case, fonts in the status bar were working in vim (displaying the proper symbols) but not in macvim. Added the following line to the .gvimrc file and it works fine now.

I had specify :h16

set guifont=Source\ Code\ Pro\ for\ Powerline:h16
