CJK font support #53

Closed debeetle closed 1 month ago

debeetle commented 1 month ago

Hi again! I found CJK font cannot show correctly in this minimal terminal, is there possible to add this feature? Any advice will be appreciated.

Havoc supports double width characters, but it has to be a monospace font, which font is causing problems?

debeetle commented 1 month ago

Thank you for your time. It's WenQuanYi Zen Hei, a widely-used CJK font. And it's not a mono font, so I guess it's the problem. Changing the font to WenQuanYi Zen Hei Mono in /etc/fonts/local.conf and reboot does not work. Am I making any mistake?

The font is specified in the havoc.cfg file. See here: https://github.com/ii8/havoc/blob/9b17b655b3173d08e446b665c20f2fe0fe6da3a1/havoc.cfg#L27-L28

Also you never need to reboot for any config change to take effect. You can just restart havoc.

In cfg file I set ubuntu mono which does not support cjk. I thought havoc would automatically roll back to local cjk font settings without specifying . And it seems that there can only exist one font in config. Is it possible to set a font for english while another for cjk? Thanks for replying!

You can't set multiple fonts at the moment, that's a feature that could be added alongside specifying a separate font for bold text. Or for now you could use fontforge to merge the two fonts into one.

That's helpful, I'll close this issue
