Patched font Monaco for OSX Vim-Powerline
same issue as kballard, looked horrible.
OS X 10.8, iterm2, xterm-256color, etc
The linux version looks better with antialiasing turned off, but still not as good as the original. However, with antialiasing enabled, I can't detect any difference, at least at 14pt.
Great thanks for posting this, now Powerline is way more useful.
Tried the font, and I still don't get the triangle glyphs. What am I doing wrong?
Same here. Any thoughts?
Works great for me, thanks for this!
The latest update of oh-my-zsh breaks this for me on OS X 10.8.3. Has anyone been able to find a replacement?
Both fonts don't work for me, but the linux version works however.

Monaco for Powerline.otf:1 Unexpected character (14)
then the symbols are displayed as question marks, something like this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14392222/powerline-on-mac-os-x-not-working-as-expected
@lxyu same for me. Both fonts not functioning (as well as all patched fonts from https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline-fonts).
But the one you've pointed out - works great. Thanks!
Hey, I noticed this font isn't tagged as monospaced so it doesn't show up in apps that only offer monospaced fonts.
I made a patched version here: https://gist.github.com/rogual/6824790627960fc93077
I don't know much about fonts — just opened it in Robofont and changed that one setting. But, the resulting font file is much smaller, so I may have broken it.
Great! works on iTerm 2
Can you guys please post your .Xresources files? Seems like it affects font misrendering a lot.
Maybe you can remove the "OSX" in title, because it works in Linux too :) but nice and thanks for this font

For me, this font was almost identical to the system Monaco at 16pt with antialiasing on. The only differences were the symbols on Powerline in vim. I tested it on OS X Mountain Lion in iTerm 2 with term type set to xterm-256color.
