"You're running gimp from a USB stick? Why is that? Or are you
running it on some horrible shared Windows terminal thing?"
Sure. When I am using Windows, I need sometimes to use Linux without
touching anything. So I run Debian from the USB stick. It must remain
very light and fast. Compared to a L

I wonder if it is not better to port/code a gfx application which
could be using SDL on Windows as well.
SDL is quite well compatible, universal:
"SDL officially supports Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, iOS, and Android.

Hello,
If you are developing C/C++ programs in a terminal environment, you

may have some problems with characters.
What about this "Portability" of your terminal applications? - Not
great, isn't it?

Use UTF-8. Seriously, different character sets are such an incredibly
sucky thing that nobody should consider re-introducing t

Indeed. You have a good compatibility, however a limited number of
"weid" characters.

I am not so sure if you can get all the unicode well displayed on most
terminals.
If you make a nice art / ascii graphic, you are never sure whether it
will end well displayed depending on the system/terminal, that the
user uses.

No, but it's more
Let's take an example:
Let's take a well-known program: vim compiled for Windows. If you use
gvim.exe in Windows, you have a perfect result. No simple problem with
characters.
However, if you take vim.exe (from the same directory as gvim.exe) and
use it in the windows console (execute: cmd then ty

Please read up on software history.
You are completely right. Windows is important.
Another point... what about colors? You never know what the user
using your program will get.
Linux terminal, Windows Terminal, xterm,...

FWIW as a rule you really shouldn't write terminal programs that use
