Strange characters in terminal #38

Closed nickbe closed 5 years ago

nickbe commented 5 years ago

tiv only works halfway as expected when using the -256 option. But even then I can see strange characters inside the blocks:

Any idea how to get rid of that? I'm using kitty/putty in windows.

Hack: comment out the unsupported characters here: https://github.com/stefanhaustein/TerminalImageViewer/blob/f80071243f68fa01b34a037477366673e4e87862/src/main/cpp/tiv.cpp#L29

Longer term: Disable characters using a flag.

Did you try the -0 option?

nickbe commented 5 years ago

Yes I did, but then the image gets messed up completely. I've just tried the latest daily build of putty and there everything works just fine. So this seems to be a kitty problem.

seems to me like you should switch your console font to something like fira code or inconsolata (using windows is no excuse for ignoring unicode additions)

Closing as the problem is addressed by using a new version of kitty
