Package: console-setup Version: 1.196 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
While working on Notcurses (https://notcurses.com), I realized that numerous Unicode Box-Drawing Characters resolve to the missing glyph (U+FFFD), despite being well-simulated by glyphs present in the font. I suggest that these Unicode->font mappings be added to the various psf files. Notcurses currently adds them (if not already present) at application start time, and I can verify that it significantly improves the console experience. I'm happy to make these patches and send them upstream, but Anton Zinoviev requested that I file a bug here. I consider the following wide strings to be acceptable fallback sets (taken from Notcurses src/lib/linux.c): .ws = L"/╱", .ws = L"\\╲", .ws = L"X╳", .ws = L"└┕┖┗╘╙╚╰", .ws = L"┘┙┚┛╛╜╝╯", .ws = L"┌┍┎┏╒╓╔╭", .ws = L"┐┑┒┓╕╖╗╮", .ws = L"─━┄┅┈┉╌╍═╼╾", .ws = L"│┃┆┇┊┋╎╏║╽╿", .ws = L"├┝┞┟┠┡┢┣╞╟╠", .ws = L"┤┥┦┧┨┩┪┫╡╢╣", .ws = L"┬┭┮┯┰┱┲┳╤╥╦", .ws = L"┴┵┶┷┸┹┺┻╧╨╩", .ws = L"┼┽┾┿╀╁╂╃╄╅╆╇╈╉╊╋╪╫╬", Let me know how I can make myself useful. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (300, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.7.8nlb (SMP w/64 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_WARN, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages console-setup depends on: ii console-setup-linux 1.196 ii debconf 1.5.74 ii keyboard-configuration 1.196 ii xkb-data 2.29-2 console-setup recommends no packages.
