fonts VS PrusaSlicer

Look at Powerline Fonts, Nerd Fonts or Font Awesome.

I'm now trying to make the Powerline fonts work on Windows. I've tried the two options I get when I right click in a font file ("Install" and "Install for all users") and even restarted the computer, but the new fonts appear everywhere (Windows control panel, LibreOffice Writer, PhpStorm...) except in the WSL console. They're simply missing in the "Font" list. I want "Hack", but I've also tried a few different fonts and none are offered as choice.

Could also be a patched font. Some fonts use the private use area of unicode to draw glyphs for use in interface. Check out for example these patched fonts for Powerline on GitHub. Powerline is a status line plugin for vim and it uses text to draw the interface. If you download one, drop it on a font visualizer e.g. fontdrop.info you'll see a range of specific glyphs inside the private use area (E000–F8FF). There's even an Ubuntu logo at E0FF.

In order to use some of the best themes, you'll need to first install Powerline fonts on your system. I prefer to run the install script directly from their official repository like so:

The theme in the photo above is called agnoster and for that theme, you need the Powerline fonts. Hint: a lot of the themes require these fonts.

To view the terminal properly from another machine, such as a Windows PC, Apple Mac or Linux machine you will need to install the Powerline fonts (Click here for a link to the powerline fonts).

But for this particular theme we need a particular font, the Ubuntu Mono. Of course you can download this font as a standard human or again use your terminal by directly clonning the project:

so I did git clone https://github.com/powerline/fonts.git --depth=1 cd fonts ./install.sh cd .. rm -rf fonts

I do this with my Prusa MK3S with MMU2S. It cannot be done without this fix in PrusaSlicer, however (which hasn't been merged into a release).

If you’d like to support my request https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/issues/11102 and leave a comment or a 👍. Any support is welcome and helps to get this feature implemented in PrusaSlicer. Thank you in advance!

That's it. I haven't seen many mentions of global variables other than This GitHub page from March so I hope this helps people.

Example: "The feature was ported from BambuStudio, thanks to @bambulab for the initial implementation." https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/releases/tag/version_2.6.0-beta4

It may be worth filing a feature request issue for your use case with the PrusaSlicer project.

There is an issue with PrusaSlicer that needs to be fixed to make it work for true multi-material printing. At this time, the nozzle can jam when switching from a high temperature to a lower temperature filament, because the purge is attempted at the lower temperature, which can cause the nozzle to jam. I fixed it in this PR (so that purging happens at the higher of the two temperatures) but it never got merged into the current release, and given the PR backlog, I doubt it ever will. In any case, that fix converts the MMU into a true multi-material printer. I can now print PLA with PETG supports, for example. Or mix PLA with PLA+. I have to use my own PrusaSlicer build to do this, however.

Hi, I have a project based on https://github.com/prusa3d/PrusaSlicer/tree/master that I want to create a .app for to try on another laptop. however i just can't figure out how. it seems like xcode build will do that for you, however upon using cmake with -GXcode it does create a project and I can debug/run my app with it. but there is no .app within the file structure.
