About

Inconsolata Bold for Powerline is a font variant in the Powerline fonts collection. This Homebrew cask installs one file: Inconsolata Bold for Powerline.ttf.

  • The installed file is the bold Powerline variant; it does not install the separate regular Inconsolata for Powerline font also listed in the collection.
  • The font is installed in the current user's ~/Library/Fonts folder.
  • The collection credits Raph Levien as the font creator, Kha as a patcher, and Joel Chippindale for the bold variant.

Install it with brew install --cask font-inconsolata-for-powerline-bold. After installation, select the installed font by name in an application that supports custom fonts. Installing this cask adds a font file; it does not install a separate application. The supplied information does not establish full Unicode coverage or ligature support.
