Last time I used it, a lot of things would leave pixel dust, especially characters that used the extreme rightmost column of pixels in their character cell. Column alignment on bright text didn't match the alignment on normal text. And the VT100 implementation was close but not quite perfect so ncurses apps would occasionally mess up, under circumstances I could never really isolate.
I tried fixing these issues myself but I was never able to come up with a completely satisfactory solution so I never had any patches to contribute. The worst part is, it seems to be sensitive to the platform you're running on and the font that's being used, so it probably works great if you're on Linux/X11. I tried using it two separate times on Linux/QWS (trying to put a dev console in an embedded application) and MacOSX (trying to come up with a terminal better than the one Apple ships). /s/ Adam On Fri, Feb 3, 2012 at 9:16 AM, Adam Treat <[email protected]> wrote: > It doesn't seem to bad to me actually...
