* Common
** Which version of Spacemacs am I running?
The version is displayed on the upper right corner of the loading screen. You
may also just type ~SPC f e v~.

** What is the official pronunciation of Spacemacs?
As it is written, that is _space_ then _macs_.

** Why are packages installed with =package-install= automatically deleted by Spacemacs when it boots?
To declare new packages you have to create a new configuration layer, see the
[[file:QUICK_START.org][quick start guide]].

** The Spacemacs banner is ugly, what should I do?
Install the default font supported by Spacemacs or choose a fixed width font.
More information in the font section of the [[file:DOCUMENTATION.org][documentation]].

** The powerline separators are ugly, how can I fix them?
Use the property =:powerline-scale= of the variable =dotspacemacs-default-font=.
See font section of the [[file:DOCUMENTATION.org][documentation]] for more details.

** The powerline separators have no anti-aliasing, what can I do?
Emacs powerline uses XMP images to draw the separators in a graphical
environment. You can have anti-aliasing if you use the =utf8= separator. Note
that by default the =utf8= separator is used in a terminal. See the powerline
section in the font section of the [[file:DOCUMENTATION.org][documentation]].

** Why is after-init-hook not executed?
Don't launch Spacemacs with =emacs -q -l init.el= command. This command will run
the hooked function in =after-init-hook= before the evaluation of the passed =-l
init.el= file.<commit_msg>FAQ: minor update<commit_after>#+TITLE: Frequently Asked Questions

** Why are packages installed with =package-install= automatically deleted by Spacemacs when it boots?
To declare new packages you have to create a new configuration layer or
add the package name to the variable =dotspacemacs-additonal-packages=
of your dotfile, see the [[file:QUICK_START.org][quick start guide]] for more info.

the hooked functions in =after-init-hook= before the evaluation of the passed =-l
