About

Droid Sans Mono for Powerline is a monospaced font based on Droid Sans Mono and patched for Powerline. The supplied Homebrew cask installs one file, Droid Sans Mono for Powerline.otf, in the user’s macOS Fonts folder; it does not install a separate application.

  • The font is identified as Droid Sans Mono for Powerline.
  • The project credits Ascender Corporation as the font creator and mt3 for the Powerline patch.
  • The cask installs the single listed OpenType file, rather than a collection of font variants.

Install it with brew install --cask font-droid-sans-mono-for-powerline. After installation, select the actual font by name in a compatible application, such as a code editor or terminal that supports choosing fonts. The available evidence identifies the font and its patch, but does not establish complete Unicode coverage or ligature support.
