About

Meslo for Powerline is a font package for using Meslo fonts patched for Powerline status-line symbols. It installs six OpenType files: Regular and DZ Regular variants at L, M, and S sizes. These are the specific files included; this package does not install every Meslo variant or a separate application.

  • Provides patched Meslo fonts intended for Powerline use.
  • Includes L, M, and S size variants, each with a Regular and DZ Regular file.
  • The repository identifies Meslo for Powerline as Apache License 2.0.

Install with brew install --cask font-meslo-for-powerline. After installation, select the specific installed font in an application that supports custom fonts; for coding or terminal use, choose it in the editor or terminal’s font settings. Installing the package does not itself configure a Powerline status line or select the font in an application.
