I installed Powerline for vim and am using an unpatched font, so it is showing Inequality signs. Is there a way to remove them? Using a patched font doesn't change a thing, powerline still have the same look.
To override the dividers you can put this in your _vimrc
let g:Powerline_dividers_override = ['', '', '', '']
Then you will probably need to run :PowerlineClearCache
and restart Vim.
Here it is in help.
