For exa= mple, Luxi, DroidSans, DejaVuSans monospaced fonts have it, but e.g. Consolas does not = (it renders nothing). With traditional "fixed" font, dotted square is drawn. = On the FreeBSD virtual console with default settings, a square is drawn. Would it be possible to use the simple ASCII asterisks instead, like everyw= here else in that page? As I read in the commit history of this file, although = it is under contrib, it has diverged sufficiently from upstream (including a f= ull whitespace commit and large portions rewritten), so perhaps we can also rep= lace these Unicode asterisks with ASCII ones so it renders correctly everywhere. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
