Display control characters (arrows, etc.) in console font?

Post by emendelson »

I posted an issue about this in the Wineskin Winery GitHub page, but realized that the problem is upstream, so here it is again, briefly. (For screenshots, see the GitHub page: https://github.com/Gcenx/WineskinServer/issues/332)

The font used in Wine's command prompt window (console) doesn't display the control characters in ASCII 0-31, including the four arrows. An empty box appears instead, but some console-style programs use those characters. I've searched through the source code in the hope of finding where these characters are excluding from the display, but can't find the relevant file.

Is there any hope of changing this in future releases? Or can anyone suggest where to look in the source code? Many thanks.
