A workaround for the wide window due to additional spacing between letters is to use "-letsp -1". Unfortunately, for the spacing between lines, using "-lsp -1" does not have any effect. > * There sometimes (not always) are blank lines (rows or columns) > between characters, which is an issue for line-drawing characters. No issue with the built-in block graphics/line drawing characters (the default), but some characters, not handled by this code, are affected, e.g. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ (the issue disappears with "-letsp -1") and ⎧ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ One may consider that supporting negative values with -lsp would solve this bug (this would first need checking that the expected blank line is removed). -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
