* Requirements

  As of version 0.3.0 you can also use icons from some icon fonts,
  specifically:

  - [[http://fontawesome.io/][Font Awesome]]
  - [[https://octicons.github.com/][GitHub Octicons]]
  - [[http://fizzed.com/oss/font-mfizz][Font Mfizz]]

  You need to have installed these on your system in order to use
  these fonts, mode-icons will not do this for you. If you don't have
  them installed you may get some strange glyphs in your mode-line
  instead.

* Installation

** manually

   Place ~mode-icons.el~ somewhere in your =load-path= and copy the
   ~icons/~ directory there as well. Then =require= ~mode-icons~ in your
   [[http://gnu.org/software/emacs][Emacs]] init file.

* Usage

  Once installed you can add =(mode-icons-mode)= to your init file.
