Package: fortune-zh
Version: 1.6
Severity: minor
These fortune files contain hard-coded ANSI escape codes to change the
foreground color of some lines. This means that anything that does
not interpret ANSI escape codes will show garbage onscreen, for
example the less(1) command:
fortune /usr/share/games/fortunes/tang300 | less
ESC[32m《将赴吴兴登乐游原》ESC[m
ESC[33m作者：杜牧ESC[m
清时有味是无能，闲爱孤云静爱僧。
欲把一麾江海去，乐游原上望昭陵。
The correct way to change foreground color in a shell script is to use
the tput(1) program, e.g.
#!/bin/sh
printf 'this is '
tput setaf 4
printf blue
tput sgr0
echo '!'
Since this cannot be done in a fortune file, I suggest the escape
codes simply be removed.
