--For all the noobs, with attention deficit, like my self.

I had the same issue, the solution was much more basic than than installing the fonts, but was not mentioned anywhere else: manually setting the fonts in your terminal (still need to make sure you have the fonts installed).

In iTerm2: iTerm > preferences > profiles > text > Regular font & non ASCII font.

In Terminal : Terminal > preferences > profiles > text > fonts

  • no it cant help me with this problem. After add font rightly there still '??' in powerline... – Scen Jan 18 '13 at 05:43
  • @Scen Did you really read it? You must update iterm2 (AFAIR to developed version, not to some release). Just adding font is not enough. For old versions of iterm2 this bug has RESOLVED WONTFIX status. – ZyX Jan 18 '13 at 12:46
  • Finally i get done of it. I only remove all of my vim files and copy them from my ubuntu old files. It seems like something went wrong in my config file or something .@ZyX thanks a lot, but i really read it and this issue isn`t caused by the verson of iterm2. – Scen Mar 13 '13 at 10:00

Install powerline-shell fonts and change in your iTerm2 the text's setting with Inconsolata font for exemple.

For me this vim config solved the problem:

g:Powerline_symbols = 'unicode'

In some cases it could also be needed:

set t_Co=256

iTerm2 -> Preferences... -> Text -> Font & Non-ASCII Font -> Choose Inconsolata for Powerline

Since you are on iTerm 2, make sure you go into your settings and set both the regular font and the non-ascii font to powerline compatible fonts or the prompt separators and special characters will not display correctly as it is happening in your case.
