Since they are private use characters, Powerline symbols are available on graphemica.
I can provide the official font patcher's font file, though: https://github.com/powerline/fontpatcher/blob/develop/fonts/powerline-symbols.sfd
The only one I wouldn't like added is the block glyph.

I tried making them myself, but they simply didn't end up being as sharp as your glyphs regardless of hinting.

You can see the glyphs in action in another font:

As you may be able to tell, the arrows are meant to be flush with the left or right bearing as well as the line height.

[larsenwork]

sure, I'll add them :)

The key is sticking to the grid:

Could you try this to see if it's correct size:

I have only "fixed" the square box + the branch glyph above

[chase]

It appears to be correct.

[larsenwork]

ok, so not any taller/shorter? could you post a screenshot so I can see exactly how it looks :)

[chase]

That'll have to wait, I'm away from my dev machine for the next two days.

[larsenwork]

no problem - I actually finished them anyways. Can easily be adjusted. Edit: The latest ttf in the andreas branch has them.

There are a couple corrections to the arrow glyphs I'm making, but overall, great job!
I suppose that since the glyphs are meant to match the line height I'll need to modify the build script to modify the points, but that's not a huge deal 👍

[larsenwork]

@chase Did you ever push the corrected arrow glyphs back into the master? 😄

[chase]

I didn't, I'm a bit busy with work right now. I'll get them to you before the end of the month, I swear.

[larsenwork]

No worries, I just couldn't remember that's all - god arbejdslyst! (≈ happy work spirit, danish saying...)
