  1. metric changes to make gnome-terminal look good 

    The powerline glyphs don't seem to render properly in gnome-terminal
under any distro. I'm not sure why. I posted questions that might get
answered in the future:

- https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/powerline-support/mTIsGWW34U0
- powerline/fonts#31 (comment)

In the meantime, these changes seem to make the glyphs render better.
Note that I'm testing this in gnome-terminal on Arch with the
ubuntu-patched freetype2/fontconfig/cairo libraries. I can already tell
that e.g. Konsole renders things differently.

Here's the command to generate a TTF file (which goes in ~/.fonts):

fontforge -lang ff -c 'Open($1); Generate($2)' powerline-symbols.sfd powerline-symbols.ttf
