Blank PS1 after exporting $PS1 or only displays ?'s about powerline-go HOT 9 CLOSED

For MAC, I had same issue. Turns out this is more of a terminal config problem then anything else.
To fix just install powerline font and change the Non-ASCII Font on iterm preferences.

To what terminal mode have you set iTerm2, and what does it output if you run $GOBIN/powerline-go -shell bare directly?

Well, there’s your issue. Your $TERM is set to linux, which means your shell thinks it's a hardware terminal or a serial terminal.

Set your $TERM to xterm-256color (as the README tells you to) and it should work. Does that fix it for you?

similar problem $TERM not work, powerline fonts installed.

This is certainly unusual, it might take a few days to test for me (I don’t have access to a Mac myself).

What would you need us to do to help you test on a Mac and OSX since we have one?

Hi, i also have the same question.
I downloaded the release Binary, move powerline-go to /usr/bin.

powerline-go version is v1.11.0.
OS version: elementary OS 0.4.1 Loki

$   powerline-go -shell bare
 pytimer  pytimer    ~  $    pytimer  pytimer    ~  $ 
$   echo $TERM
xterm-256color

confirmed. If you're using iterm2 you have to download and install the powerline fonts onto your mac and then change the font in your profile.
