FeatReq: use the Textual reccomended spec for the terminal fonts and line spacing and character spacing

Open Emasoft opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

According to the Textual FAQ the issues with the terminal characters can be solved by using the reccomended settings:

  • FONT = Menlo
  • STYLE = Regular
  • Character Spacing = 1.0
  • Line Spacing = 0.805

SOURCE: https://github.com/Textualize/textual/blob/main/docs/FAQ.md#why-doesnt-textual-look-good-on-macos

Unfortunately the config utility of a-Shell can only set the Font family, not Character Spacing or Line Spacing. Is it possible to add those two settings?

HOW TO REPRODUCE THE BUG
Here is a zip file with two small python scripts you can use to test the characters issues on a-Shell:

Of course you also need to install the Textual package:
