Spacing appears in Vim Airline on right side

Question

I just successfully installed vim-airline, and all the required stuff. I've downloaded the powerline-fonts, and successfully installed them. The only problem right now I'm having is: On right side of the bar from my angle, it shows some spacing between arrows and boxes like in the following picture:

I've applied a lot of techniques to make it look properly, but nothing makes it work.

Note: No matter, how wide or short the screen is - the spacing remains consistent.

have you tried changing the font-size ? also you can try with this font that works great : https://github.com/larsenwork/monoid — nobe4, Aug 19 '15 at 08:54
Yes, I've. Changing the font-size makes the space out, but at the same time, it also makes the arrow (much more)bigger than the box, and it looks awkward. — Arslan Ali, Aug 19 '15 at 08:58

I think this is a terminal related problem, more than a Vim specific issue — nobe4, Aug 19 '15 at 09:09
I'm using iTerm, and regarding settings, I've done the settings. And please note that I've install input font from powerline-fonts. — Arslan Ali, Aug 19 '15 at 09:11

You should try adding the following line in your vimrc :

let g:airline#extensions#whitespace#mixed_indent_algo = 1

Also, some fonts may work better than others. e.g. :

I'm not sure why this is the accepted answer. The first suggestion doesn't change the padding on the right-hand side at all and most of us chose the font we did because we like it better than all of the other fonts. I'll fork vim-airline and see if I can find the source. – cbartondock Jun 27 '18 at 03:11
