Fonts patched for Windows #18
Conversation
A small variety of fonts patched to work with Windows, created by maintaining the TTF hints and generating as .ttf via the fontpatcher.py utility. Currently, Inconsolata and Source Code Pro don't seem to be happy in Windows via this method.

@daagar I tried the six "windows patched" fonts, but the vim-powerline in fancy mode still still shows blocks. The only font that renders the status-lines using fancy symbols is: http://codejury.com/consolas-font-in-vim-powerline-windows/ Terminal Cygwin Mintty 1.1.3 with Vim 7.3 / Windows 8 By the way, the Droid Sans Mono for Powerline is beautiful in the terminal; I really wish you could fix the fancy mode =) |

My apologies. I was using your patched fonts with the deprecated vim-powerline. The symbols are rendered perfectly with the latest powerline. Thanks! |

+1 for this; Droid Sans Mono's ttf looks far better than what's in the repos, when on Windows. |
|
Tested in mintty + msysgit + ssh + remote Ubuntu, The remote zsh powerline on Ubuntu looks awesome. Although there is still some compatiable bugs, eg. right segments broken at line end, I am happy to get the good start in Windows environment. |

Tried those fonts in zsh (putty + wsl + zsh + oh-my-zsh + agnoster theme) and Droid and Ubuntu fonts show boxes in place of ⚡ (lightning) symbol (it is displayed when logged in as root). DejaVu works perfectly. |

A small variety of fonts patched to work with Windows, created by
maintaining the TTF hints (Fontforge AutoInstr) from the originals, and generating as .ttf via the fontpatcher.py utility. The existing versions (typically *.otf format) look fairly bad in Windows.
Currently, Inconsolata and Source Code Pro don't seem to be happy in
Windows via this method so aren't included.
Random comment: powerline seems to work just fine in Windows! Once I understood the font issues and got them re-patched, I was a happy camper.
