Re: incorrect text mode graphic character display
Did you try to go back to Cygwin 3.0.7? At work, we had to do that, after output from Maven (which is colored) gets corrupted after a change in 3.1.0 and onwards. The output problem we saw manifests itself slightly different from yours, but it might be worth trying Cygwin 3.0.7 nonetheless. - Eric L On Thu, May 7, 2020 at 5:52 PM wrote: > Hi, > > Doesn't matter what terminal i'm using, I'm having a problem with the way > graphic characters print. > Julia uses unicode output, and will generate output that should look like > this: > > julia> x=DataFrame([(1,2,3), (4,5,6)]) > 2×3 DataFrame > │ Row │ 1 │ 2 │ 3 │ > │ │ Int64 │ Int64 │ Int64 │ > ├─┼───┼───┼───┤ > │ 1 │ 1 │ 2 │ 3 │ > │ 2 │ 4 │ 5 │ 6 │ > > Unfortunately I'm seeing this : > > julia> x=DataFrame([(1,2,3), (4,5,6)]) > 2├ù3 DataFrame > Γöé Row Γöé 1 Γöé 2 Γöé 3 Γöé > Γöé Γöé Int64 Γöé Int64 Γöé Int64 Γöé > > Γö£ΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓö╝ΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓö╝ΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓö╝ΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓöÇΓöñ > Γöé 1 Γöé 1 Γöé 2 Γöé 3 Γöé > Γöé 2 Γöé 4 Γöé 5 Γöé 6 Γöé > > This was working until a recent upgrade.

Re: incorrect text mode graphic character display
You simply run the setup program, it's possible to select a few older versions. - Eric L On Thu, May 7, 2020 at 6:32 PM wrote: > On Thu, 7 May 2020 18:01:59 +0200 > Eric Lilja wrote: > > > Did you try to go back to Cygwin 3.0.7?

Re: incorrect text mode graphic character display
Cygwin itself is actually just DLL, you can select a previous version of it in setup.exe. That solved our issue with corrupted display of Maven. You can also install older versions of any package (but not all old versions ever published will be available to choose from, just a few ones). Anyway, my suggestion is downgrade Cygwin itself and see if that helps (if not, we know the problem is elsewhere). All the other packages you can keep at latest versions. - Eric L On Thu, May 7, 2020 at 11:11 PM wrote: > On Thu, 7 May 2020 22:22:56 +0200 > Eric Lilja wrote: > > > You simply run the setup program, it's possible to select a few older > > versions. > > > > oh, i was thinking i could simply select a previous version of cygwin as a > whole. > > are you talking about selecting previous versions of specific packages ? > > it would be really difficult to figure out what i should try and roll > back, although the terminal programs would obviously be the primary > candidates. > > > -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
Re: Console doesn't work correctly under anything else than cmd or mintty
I had a similar experience when I tried to use the CLI that comes with MongoDB. Switched to use TakeCommand instead when I needed to use the MongoDB CLI. Too bad! - Eric L On Tue, May 12, 2020 at 11:05 PM Kacper Michajlow via Cygwin < cygwin@cygwin.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I was testing latest master (e637d53) and console is clunky in anything > that isn't cmd.exe or mintty.
