Ascii block/line characters not displaying correctly #14

Hello Stefan,

Left is QuickNFO and right is Ascension. I've tried all different font and encoding settings, but I don't get the ascii blocks to properly display in Ascension. Am I doing something wrong?

Hah, I know it's been a while ... just thought I'd give it a swirl again on this rainy day. Cheers. :)

I see on the screenshot that you are applying Win/Latin1 encoding to the document while it should be DOS Codepage 437. Can you try to change it to DOS CP437 by clicking on the encoding selector on the bottom of the Ascension UI? This should hopefully do it. You also might want apply CP437 as standard encoding for ASCII documents. Please let me know if this is working for you! Cheers
