+---------

+On some GNOME systems, in order to use the powerline patched font in place of a default

+Terminal (io.elementary.terminal) uses ``Roboto Mono 10`` as its default monospace font. 
+In order to use its Powerline equivalent, issue the following command:
+::
+    gsettings set io.elementary.terminal.settings font 'Roboto Mono For Powerline 10'
