Troubleshooting

IRC Client

IRCCloud doesn't work very well. It's monospaced font is Iconsolata, served up by Google Web Fonts, which doesn't draw the block characters correctly (see below). Mirc has broken unicode support.

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 Bold
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)

Font

Try Andale Mono or Menlo for Mac. Deja Vu Sans for Linux, Lucida Console 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.
