Gsettings
---------

On some GNOME systems, in order to use the powerline patched font in place of a default
font, you will need to set the new font using ``gsettings``. For example, Elementary OS's
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'
