About

DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline is a monospaced font variant patched with symbols used by Powerline. Its listed glyphs include branch, line and column numbers, a read-only padlock, and solid and outlined angle and corner shapes.

The Homebrew cask installs these four font files: regular, bold, oblique, and bold oblique. This is a specific set of styles, not a claim that every DejaVu Sans Mono style is included. The font files are placed in the user’s ~/Library/Fonts directory.

To install, run brew install --cask font-dejavu-sans-mono-for-powerline. After installation, select the installed DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline font in a compatible application, such as a terminal or editor, to use it. Installing this cask installs fonts; it does not install a separate application.

  • Monospaced DejaVu Sans Mono variant patched for Powerline.
  • Includes the listed Powerline-related branch, number, padlock, and geometric symbols.
  • Provides regular, bold, oblique, and bold oblique font files.
