Lacking in font department #5

Closed shehi closed 8 years ago

shehi commented 8 years ago

This package heavily lacks in font department: using the font provided has special character related issues. Packages like Symfony CLI have strong table-like, colored output capabilities. With the font included, tables have no boundaries etc. The new glyphs introduced in this special font need to be placed in special address ranges, and not overwrite an address which is already occupied by a UTF-8 charset character. @mislam , please fix the font issue, otherwise this package becomes useless for devs who utilize terminal a lot.

Example characters are: ─ ┴ ┘┤etc The font provided in this package lacks these glyphs.

Update: I compared FiraCode-Regular to Ubuntu-Mono:

Apparently, Fira-Code has the glyphs, but for some weird reason, they are not being printed. Look at these two examples:

versus

These issues need fixing.
