I installed Ubuntu on the WSL and wanted to install Zsh as my new bash.

The problem is, when I select a theme like agnoster, all the characters and colors are wrong. I think it's because the console doesn't provide all the colors and the powerline font installed in Ubuntu is ignored.

Can you guys fix this?

(or even be more amazing and copy Zsh for Window, so we can have all the plug-ins and themes?)
