Box drawing characters don't print correctly after AnsiConsole.systemInstall() in cmd.exe

[codemonstur]

I want to print some box drawing characters to the screen. Here is my code:

public static void main(final String... args) {
    AnsiConsole.systemInstall();
    System.out.println("\u2514\u2500");
}

However this prints:

C:\Projects\public\test>java -jar target/test.jar
ÔööÔöÇ

If I remove the AnsiConsole.systemInstall() I get this:

C:\Projects\public\test>java -jar target/test.jar
└─

On linux everything is fine. This only breaks on windows (tested with cmd.exe and Windows Home 11). I do want to continue using AnsiConsole because I want to print colors. And that part works great. I don't want to have to choose between colors or fancy drawing.

@codemonstur could you please provide the output of java -jar jansi-2.4.0.jar ?

Hey @gnodet, I already did. See my comment here: https://github.com/fusesource/jansi/issues/227#issuecomment-1406240133

@codemonstur I've reproduced the issue when running on JDK 21. Could you double check that it works for you with JDK 11 ? I'll investigate and try to find a fix in the mean time...

The problem exists on JDK11 as well. The logo did come out right, but those truecolor and 256 color is probably not what it should be.

There is a bit too much data to stuff it all into one screenshot. So I copy-pasted the regular text at the top and made a screenshot only of the colored bits.
