Which is by no means going to “end patched fonts madness”. This is what I call “useless”: many if not most users are using Vim from terminal, also there are many powerline users that use it for tmux or their shell. It is easier to continue requiring patched fonts then learn new technology just for a portion (special fonts can be disabled, AFAIR airline even disables them by default) of a portion (GUI and no powerline in shell/etc: if there is powerline in shell then patched fonts are still needed) of a portion (not all users can have most recent Vim) users. > > -- > -- > You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. > Do not top-post!
