Cant get powerline fonts to work (need utf-8?)

[pmcmorris]

I've recently gotten the vim-powershell working in vim and it looks great. GVim was pretty easy (for linux and windows) and with a bit of extra work I got the fancy fonts in my terminal on Ubuntu also. But I can't seem to make it work under cmder on windows.

The main problem is that even after I switch to the powerline font, the additional glyphs are never used. I just see a bunch of ascii extended chars. I can't seem to get cmder to use utf-8. Is that possible?

This not a specific problem of cmder, but rather of cmd in general, which does not use UTF-8 by default.
You can just add a "@Chcp 65001 >nul" at the bottom of the vendor/init.bat. This switches the code page to UTF-8.

Sorry for the delay, I did actually get utf-8 symbols working under Cmder using this. Thank you.
