+***********************
+Troubleshooting on OS X
+***********************
+
+I can’t see any fancy symbols, what’s wrong?
+--------------------------------------------
+
+* If you’re using iTerm2, please update to `this revision 
+  <https://github.com/gnachman/iTerm2/commit/8e3ad6dabf83c60b8cf4a3e3327c596401744af6>`_ 
+  or newer. Also make sure that Preferences>Profiles>Text>Non-ASCII Font is the same as
+  your main Font.
+* You need to set your ``LANG`` and ``LC_*`` environment variables to 
+  a UTF-8 locale (e.g. ``LANG=en_US.utf8``). Consult your Linux distro’s 
+  documentation for information about setting these variables correctly.
+
+The colors look weird in the default OS X Terminal app!
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+* The arrows may have the wrong colors if you have changed the “minimum 
+  contrast” slider in the color tab of your OS X settings.
+* The default OS X Terminal app is known to have some issues with the 
+  Powerline colors. Please use another terminal emulator. iTerm2 should work 
+  fine.
+
+The colors look weird in iTerm2!
+--------------------------------
+
+* The arrows may have the wrong colors if you have changed the “minimum 
+  contrast” slider in the color tab of your OS X settings.
+* If you're using transparency, check “Keep background colors opaque”.
+
+Statusline is getting wrapped to the next line in iTerm2
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Turn off “Treat ambigious-width characters as double width” in `Preferences 
+  --> Text`.
+* Alternative: remove fancy dividers (they suck in this case), set 
+  :ref:`ambiwidth <config-common-ambiwidth>` to 2.
+
+I receive a ``NameError`` when trying to use Powerline with MacVim!
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* Please install MacVim using this command::
+
+      brew install macvim --env-std --override-system-vim
+
+  Then install Powerline locally with ``pip install --user``, or by 
+  running these commands in the ``powerline`` directory::
+
+      ./setup.py build
+      ./setup.py install --user
+
+I receive an ``ImportError`` when trying to use Powerline on OS X!
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+* This is caused by an invalid ``sys.path`` when using system vim and system 
+  Python. Please try to select another Python distribution::
+
+      sudo port select python python27-apple
+
+* See `issue #39 <https://github.com/powerline/powerline/issues/39>`_ for 
+  a discussion and other possible solutions for this issue.
+
+I receive “FSEventStreamStart: register_with_server: ERROR” with status_colors
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This is `a known <https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/5463>`_ libuv issue that 
+happens if one is trying to watch too many files. It should be fixed in 
+libuv-0.12. Until then it is suggested to either disable ``status_colors`` (from 
+:py:func:`powerline.segments.common.vcs.branch`) or choose stat-based watcher 
+(will have effectively the same effect as disabling ``status_colors``).
