Collection of my dotfiles.
These dotfiles are intended to run with xterm, zsh, vim
For everything to run properly, clone this into $HOME/.dotfiles Dont forget to init/update the submodules
For xterm to work with the DejaVu fonts, copy DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline and the bold version $HOME/.fonts
Then run fc-cache -fv to update the font cache.
Make sure to set DMENU_PATH to contain all directories with executables that should be available in dmenu.
Set this variable in your .zshenv.

Previously I was using DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline. It has basic powerline glyphs patched in, but not more. I wanted to use FontAwesome Glyphs, so I installed ttf-font-awesome (arch).
I tried to use the Font Awesome font as a secondary font in XTerm, but specifying two fonts yielded the following message from XTerm:
xterm: too many fonts for fNorm, ignoring Font Awesome
I searched for what 'fNorm' is supposed to mean, but neither man pages nor google had an answer. I suspect it means that XTerm is unable to merge the fonts or something.
Using fc-list :scalable=true:spacing=mono: family showed that FontAwesome is indeed not mono-spaced by design. That could also be the culprit.
So to fix that I switched to using DejaVuSansMono Nerd Font Mono. Now everything works, yay!
