- chrismorgan 9y agoI’m curious: how many columns is it occupying? From all that I can see, it should be a single column, with the font incapable of overriding that.
- JdeBP 9y agoI can tell you that terminal emulator is finding the character in the fonts that I have configured it with. But it won't tell you the stuff about character widths that you want to know, I suspect. As I mentioned, my terminal emulator uses bitmap fonts. Whilst bitmap fonts do have a mechanism of specifying either single-width or double-width characters, it ignores that and displays everything in the same width, rescaling everything with some slight special-casing of block graphic and horizontally repeatable characters. So whilst by the looks of the amount of detail in the glyph on screen, U+FDFD is a double-width character in the font file; it occupies a single column. See the "Fonts" section of http://jdebp.eu./Softwares/nosh/guide/console-fb-realizer.html http://jdebp.eu./Softwares/nosh/guide/console-fb-realizer.ht... I am currently using a mixture of monospace bitmap fonts that I have obtained from various places: --vtfont-normal-i fonts/t0-16i-unicode.fnt --vtfont fonts/9x15.fnt --vtfont fonts/k16-1990.fnt --vtfont fonts/unifont-7.0.06.fnt So U+FDFD is somewhere in those.
