gnu-emacs@gentoo.org Gentoo GNU Emacs project Powerline is a library for customizing the mode-line that is based on the Vim Powerline. A collection of predefined themes comes with the package. This version has utf-8 support enabled. The utf-8 separators will display a unicode character properly under mintty for example - as long as you have patched fonts installed. By default, any terminal mode emacs will use the utf-8 separators. https://github.com/milkypostman/powerline/issues/ milkypostman/powerline
