- pavel_lishin 11y agoWhat font is used to show the minesweeper example in the readme? It survives copy-and-pastes into other editors: http://i.imgur.com/21QzHYJ.png http://i.imgur.com/21QzHYJ.png
- CSDude 11y ago> font-family: Consolas, 'Liberation Mono', Menlo, Courier, monospace; But how can that be? Especially in vim. Does not happen on Linux.
- pavel_lishin 11y agoNo idea! Maybe it's actually using unicode characters, instead of plain ascii?
- Hytosys 11y agoThose characters are fullwidth unicode characters[1] that Monaco apparently does not provide (an application or system default is used). [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halfwidth_and_fullwidth_forms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halfwidth_and_fullwidth_forms

- ChrisGranger 11y agoAbout half of these work on my Windows Vista machine. Curiously, the third-last example works except for the S. Is there a font one could install so all of these are visible?
- Raphmedia 11y agoThe last time I had such an issue was because I hadn't installed them when installing the OS of the machine... that being said, it was win95, so I have no idea.
