1 year ago Thank you for the report.
Right now, ssheven only supports ASCII (actually, MacRoman). Last time I looked, even on OS 9 unicode support in the system libraries is very weak. Also I'm not sure how well the terminal escape code library I'm using does with unicode. I spent an afternoon trying to just make ssheven strip out non-ascii characters but it ended up being a big hassle.
Anyway, I do want to get unicode support. Unfortunately, unicode text rendering is pretty complicated, so I will need to spend some time finding suitable libraries and fonts, along with reworking how ssheven renders text in general.
In short: I do want to address this, but it will take quite a while.

Having unexpected malignment of characters in emacs.
Using xterm-color on a MacOs Ventura host, client is iMac G3 running 9.2.2. I know a bunch of the misrendered symbols are unicode characters (would love a fix, i wonder if on OS9 it'd be as simple as building with a more complete unicode font), but we're also seeing characters it can render be severely misaligned.
The divider bar in treemacs is totally misaligned on several lines, and the menu-bar on line 1 only intermittently appears. Including a comparison with xterm running on linux with xterm-color 16-color mode to the same server (although proper unicode support minus the nerd-fonts characters).
