Certain characters are not monospace
Problem
Certain characters used in terminal UIs are not monospace. Here is a screenshot with Argon for the following text:
textln!["╭ In progress ─────────────────────────────────────────────╮"],
textln!["│ │"],
textln!["╰──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯"],
To confirm its an issue with Argon and not VSCode, I tried it with the Hack font, and that looks fine:
Fonts observed on
I only tried it on Argon and Neon, and it occurs on both.
This is because of the ligature.
That's because box drawing characters are not supported. There's a temporary partial fix in https://github.com/githubnext/monaspace/issues/43#issuecomment-1806688727
Box drawing glyphs are added in 1.2!
Enjoy all the boxes! ✨
