What works: pcf fonts (the ones in kbd/consolefonts) - Powerline in vim
without X... useful feature.

What I can't get to work though, are the fonts for X. Do I have to
convert them like archlinux does for one of their bdf (bitmap) fonts? I
tried plain bdf before and decided to pick the other format, and it
doesn't work again so maybe it's the directory? But when I run fc-cache
-fv it is being picked up... What do you think is the best way to go
here?

I can now confirm: All 4 kinds of fonts work. For pcf it's clear
(loadfonts blafooopathtofont) for both powerline and without
powerline, and for X11 I had to use facename, not font as an option. I
thought bitmap == bitmap option for Xterm, but it's a regular X font.
