Description Jim 2009-08-02 18:58:07 UTC 
Ansi art is not aligning properly and has gaps between its lines on nfoview 1.5 on Gentoo Linux.  I had the same problem with nfoview 1.2.

Here's a screenshot of the problem I'm seeing:

Here's what that .nfo file is supposed to look like:

You can download the .nfo file in question here:

It would be nice to see this fixed in a future version.

Please check your font settings in the preferences dialog (edit menu, preferences). In general, you need a monospace font to fix the "alignment" and you may need to adjust line-spacing to fix the "gaps".

I recommend the Terminus font [1,2], which is a monospace font with good-looking box and line characters and does not require any line-spacing adjustment. Terminus is also the default font used by NFO Viewer.

You may want to file a bug against Gentoo to have terminus-font marked as a dependency or recommendation or suggestion or something for the nfoview package.
