Re: [9fans] carriage returns in 9term and acme

2012-09-11 Thread Bruce Ellis
my adsl router has a telnet interface that won't dumb down (i.e. be
sensible). it is more than tedious watching it try to backspace over
stuff and move the cursor about. hey guys, don't do that crap!

could you define "properly".  that looks right to me.

unix/plan 9 don't use nl+cr.  the carrage return harkens
back to the days when the console had an actual typewriter
carrage which needed to be sent back to the left.  in the
very old days, even before consoles with printer heads,
there was a manual return lever and a linefeed key.  since
the early 1960s  (half a century!) return, has, uh, been return.

no. changing the font also wont get rid of the ansi escape
codes. plan9 text console is not a tty. read the recent
(ssh) posts on this mailinglist as it touches the topic
of chaning the terminal output to something acme/plan9
can handle.

[9fans] carriage returns in 9term and acme

2012-09-11 Thread Christopher Hobbs
Do I need a specific font to render carriage returns properly?  This
is from acme on p9p:  http://cl.ly/image/0H0n2F1s1e0e

The same behavior is visible in 9term as well.  I have the issue both
on p9p and vanilla plan9.

Thanks.
