<title>Characters look too narrow</title>
|
|
|
|
<p>Some characters, such as some Greek letters and Asian logograms, can take
|
|
up either one or two cells in a terminal window. These characters are often
|
|
referred to as <em>ambiguous characters</em>. By default, these characters
|
|
are displayed with a narrow width in <app>Terminal</app>, which looks better
|
|
in situations where perfect layout is important, such as in ASCII art. You
|
|
can change your profile preferences to display ambiguous characters as wide,
|
|
which can be better if you are reading running prose.</p>
