title: How can I setup my vim-airline or vim-powerline
body: <p>I am trying to install <a href="https://github.com/Lokaltog/vim-powerline" rel="nofollow noreferrer">vim-powerline</a>, <a href="https://github.com/Lokaltog/powerline" rel="nofollow noreferrer">new-powerline</a>, or <a href="https://github.com/bling/vim-airline" rel="nofollow noreferrer">vim-airline</a> on Windows 7 on a <a href="https://bitbucket.org/Haroogan/vim-for-windows/src" rel="nofollow noreferrer">64bit version of vim</a>, but I cannot get them to  work.</p>
  <p>In <em>vim-powerline</em>, I get the status line, but can't see the nice <em>&lt;</em> delimiters.</p>

  <p>I installed the plugin via Vundle and updated the configuration file.</p>
  <pre><code>let g:Powerline_symbols = 'fancy'
  set encoding=utf-8
  set t_Co=256
  set fillchars+=stl:\ ,stlnc:\
  let g:Powerline_mode_V=&quot;V·LINE&quot;
  let g:Powerline_mode_cv=&quot;V·BLOCK&quot;
  let g:Powerline_mode_S=&quot;S·LINE&quot;
  let g:Powerline_mode_cs=&quot;S·BLOCK&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>Any combination looks pretty much the same. It seems that one might have to install new fonts, but there is no how-to for Windows.</p>
  <p>With <em>vim-airline</em>, I finally found those fonts looking at the <a href="https://github.com/bling/vim-airline" rel="nofollow noreferrer">vim-airline</a> plugin. Once again I can't get it quite right: I can see some ugly <em>&lt;&lt;</em>.</p>
