Upon further inspection @MarcWilson XQuartz does indeed place MacOS's fonts folder on the X11 font path by default. Oddly there seems to be either be either a bug in xterm (uxterm too) which does not correctly render Powerline fonts. xfd can display the font, however they do not display correctly in the terminal.

There's no reason at all to assume that, X11 mostly couldn't care less about that. Even if it did, you'd have to configure your font in xterm to be something that contained the Powerline set either via command-line options or Xresources. This may be useful unix.stackexchange.com/questions/269464/…

| Sep 2, 2022 at 18:42 | comment | added | Jim | @MarcWilson I'm using XQuartz. Not sure where it pulls fonts from for it's xfontserver; I would assume since XQuartz is designed for MacOS, it would pull fonts from the user and system fonts directories. | |
| Sep 1, 2022 at 23:08 | comment | added | Marc Wilson | Did you install the font in whatever X11 you are running? | |

@MarcWilson With the assistance of @mmmmmm's answer, I could easily figure out the problem is that the xterm doesn't seem to want to support the watch emoji or SVG powerline fonts that are in use with my prompt.

You don't show the important parts of your script, but there is no reason that xterm would not support escape codes for color. Whatever problem you have, that is not it.
