I am currently using Zsh + Prezto for my script shell configuration. I used the sorin theme, but a little dissatisfied with it. I would like to upgrade to paradox !
It is assumed that it looks like this:
I have problems with this. When I switch to a theme, the characters cannot load, so I get a prompt that looks like this:
Notice the square question marks where the edge border for the background or the branch symbol for the git branch should be. (Take a look at the paradox preview here ).
I saw here that I have to install Powerline patched fonts to load characters correctly. However, since I am somewhat unfamiliar with this process, I would really like to install it on my OS X.
In the documentation , I have to install via pip . When I run pip install --user powerline-status , my tooltip still cannot display the characters as they should look.
What else should I do after starting the installation to correctly display this prompt?
I am using a MacBook Pro with El Capitan
Update. I installed Powerline fonts and ran exec.sh, changed my terminal's preferred font and tested a new type of tooltip. Characters are now displayed, however, they are raised from the base line of the prompt line, for example:
Note that the character "\ ue0b0" is raised from the bottom of the line.
