run harlequin --no-download-tzdata on windows failed

[l1t1]

Describe the bug when run harlequin, it reports Harlequin was not able to download a timezone database. Without a timezone database, Harlequin may crash if you attempt to load timestamptz values into the results viewer. To use Harlequin anyway, set the --no-download-tzdata option. and when I run harlequin --no-download-tzdata, it shows many strange characters on the screen as attachment.

To Reproduce run cmd, then input harlequin --no-download-tzdata.

Expected behavior harlequin works as normal.

Actual behavior it shows many strange characters on the screen,

Looks like your font doesn't have box-drawing characters. Can you. Change the font for cmd? A modern mono will work. FiraCode is a popular choice.

I tried the other font of cmd, which shows the box correctly, but still got same error.

btw: How can set the timestamptz on local?

See my comment on #468

That's not an error; cmd is failing to process the ANSI control sequences correctly. You can try using Powershell, but I doubt this will work with Windows 7.
