font-menlo-extra

What?

Menlo Regular, patched to support glyphs from FontAwesome, Powerline, Octicons and more.

Why?

As I found, everyone else uses Meslo - customized version of Menlo with 'fixed' verical line spacing and changes baseline alignment of asterisk.

As for me, I like original Menlo spacings and aligns, so I decided to stick with original Menlo, but to patch it to add support for glyphs and icons from other modern and popular libs/collections.

Used icons/collections

Font Awesome (+ andrelzgava/font-awesome-extension)
Material Design Icons
Octicons
Powerline (inc. ryanoasis/powerline-extra-symbols)
Pomicon
Weather Icons
IEC Power Symbols
Font Linux

Who is who (versions)

*-Full - version with all icons and glyphs.
*-Normal - version with added powerline(with ext), font awesome(with ext) and octicons.
*-FullV2 - same version as *-Full, but with aligned powerline glyphs.
*-NormalV2 - same version as *-Normal, but with aligned powerline glyphs.
*-Mono - same version, but in monospace variant (with single-width glyphs).

Can I preview these glyphs in app like Symbols Viewer?

I guess you can't. These glyphs placed in Private Use Area (starting from U+E000) and Symbols Viewer cannot show them. On OS X, use Font Book.app.

Also, you can use helper scripts from here to test glyphs in terminal.
