QRcode not working in mac terminal

The QR code looks strange in mac terminal, but displays well in iterm. Is it a problem with the display scale or character width?

A screenshot would be useful.

@chaoranwill have you tried using qrcode.generate('...', {small: true})? I've found that this helps normalize the character sizes in iTerm (which are usually a little tall because iTerm has more font options than Terminal.app)

Try changing the font (in Settings) to Menlo... not perfect but a bit better.
