About

Noto Mono for Powerline is a monospaced font based on Noto Mono and patched for Powerline. The cask installs one file, Noto Mono for Powerline.ttf, in the user’s ~/Library/Fonts folder; it does not install an application.

  • The font is credited to Google, with the Powerline patch credited to Daniel Wood.
  • Its source describes Noto as a font family intended to give text a harmonious look across languages.
  • The font repository identifies the font as licensed under the SIL Open Font License, Version 1.1.

Install it with brew install --cask font-noto-mono-for-powerline. After installation, select “Noto Mono for Powerline” in a compatible application’s font settings. For coding or terminal use, choose it in an editor or terminal that supports custom fonts. Installing the font does not automatically change an application’s font.

This cask provides the listed font file only; it does not establish that every Noto style or weight is included, or guarantee Unicode coverage or ligature support.
