## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
### IRC Client
|
|
|
|
Most clients work fine assuming you're using a good font (see below.)
|
|
* Mirc has problems with color sequences following 3 byte Unicode characters.
|
|
* IRCCloud has incorrect colors.
|
|
|
|
### Terminal
|
|
|
|
Don't use reverse video, just make foreground white on black background, but
|
|
not bright white, there should be two different whites, bright white and
|
|
grayish white, 16 unique colors in all, as shown below:
|
|
|
|
Color | Regular | Bright
|
|
------|---------|-----
|
|
Black | #000000 (0, 0, 0) | #555555 (85, 85, 85)
|
|
Red | #aa0000 (170, 0, 0) | #ff5555 (255, 85, 85)
|
|
Green | #00aa00 (0, 170, 0) | #55ff55 (85, 255, 85)
|
|
Yellow | #aa5500 (170, 85, 0) | #ffff55 (255, 255, 85)
|
|
Blue | #0000aa (0, 0, 170) | #5555ff (85, 85, 255)
|
|
Magenta | #aa00aa (170, 0, 170) | #ff55ff (255, 85, 255)
|
|
Cyan | #00aaaa (0, 170, 170 ) | #55ffff (85, 255, 255)
|
|
White | #aaaaaa (170, 170, 170) | #ffffff (255, 255, 255)
|
|
|
|
### Fonts
|
|
|
|
Try *Andale Mono* or *Menlo* for Mac. *Deja Vu Sans* for Linux,
|
|
*Lucida Console* for Windows.
|
|
|
|
If the font you use is missing some of the block drawing unicode
|
|
characters its going to borrow them from another font, which
|
|
will probably having a different width than the original font.
