About

Roboto Mono for Powerline is a monospaced font family based on Roboto and patched for Powerline. The upstream description highlights readability on screens and attention to distinguishing characters used in source code, such as 1, l, I, 0, and O, as well as punctuation and symbols.

The Homebrew cask installs these ten font files: regular, bold, italic, bold italic, light, light italic, medium, medium italic, thin, and thin italic. This list describes the files included by this cask, not every possible variant of the broader Roboto Mono family.

Install with brew install --cask font-roboto-mono-for-powerline. After installation, select the actual installed font style in a compatible application. For coding or other monospaced text, choose it in an editor or terminal that supports font selection. This installs font files; it does not install a separate application.
