Subject: Re: fonting the universe
I love powerline fonts. Every computer I connect to, I install those for my
user. I run tmux and vim with status bars and use powerline for both.
Absolute joy even when developing.

Also, the stock Ubuntu font is nice but I think powerline has a replacement
for it. Not sure the equivalent in red hat. But with a little poking you
can find it no doubt. I use powerline in all applications and even in the
GUI. It's fantastic.

Good luck hans!
