Description Hans de Goede 2004-08-08 09:48:05 UTC 
-export LANG=en_US.UTF8
-start gnome-terminal
-select MiscFixed as font
-less: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/examples/UTF-8-demo.txt

At the bottom, the thin lines in the 5th and 6th box should be in the
middle of the thick lines, on my system they are of by one pixel, all gtk apps
have this, but gnome-terminal also messes up the alignment of the horizontal
thick lines in the 6th box (and others)
Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2004-08-08 10:42:10 UTC 
That should be LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Comment 2 Behdad Esfahbod 2006-04-11 05:49:32 UTC 
The reason for this is that vte draws some of the linedrawing characters graphically instead of using the font.  Maybe it's time to switch that off (make it fallback only if the font doesn't have glyphs for them...)
Comment 3 Behdad Esfahbod 2006-04-12 10:23:12 UTC 
I actually committed this. Got to wait and see how many regressions will be opened...

        * src/vte.c: Try to use the font first for all graphic characters.
        This results in better looking graphics with modern fonts.
