# Integrating with powerline fonts
For the nice looking powerline symbols to appear, you will need to install a patched font. Instructions can be found in the official powerline [documentation][t]. Prepatched fonts can be found in the [powerine-fonts][c] repository.
Finally, enable them in vim-airline by adding `let g:airline_powerline_fonts = 1` to your vimrc.
# FAQ/Troubleshooting
* the powerline font symbols are not showing up
* enable them by adding `let g:airline_powerline_fonts=1` to your vimrc.
* the older deprecated [vim-powerline][a] uses different font codes compared to the newer [powerline][b]. you can grab prepatched fonts at [powerline-fonts][c].
* the older deprecated [vim-powerline][a] uses different font codes; ensure you are using v2 fonts.
* there is a pause when leaving insert mode
* you need to set `ttimeoutlen` to a low number; 50 is recommended
* you don't see any colors
