[BUG] Cursive window borders contain gaps when viewed in Windows Terminal about cursive

(We know about this one! Thanks!)

@DHowett for awareness, might be a Terminal bug?

• Figure 4 - Example window in legacy Windows Console Host (Cascadia Mono font family, size 20)

Windows Terminal using the experimental Atlas engine (1.16.3464.0) and same Cascadia Mono font family. No gap though blurry. Starting to look like this is a Windows Terminal issue, will file a bug there too.

Hi, and thanks for the report!

I do not have a windows environment at the moment, making testing this a bit tricky, but this does look like a rendering issue. Maybe the current font size leads to rounding issues after font hinting? 🤷

The surprising part is that printing a file with these characters appears to work.

Here are the characters printed by the dialog example (github doesn't render it well, but you can still copy/paste it):

┌──┤ Cursive ├──┐
│ Hello Dialog! │ 
│               │ 
│  <Foo> <Quit> │ 
└───────────────┘

You can try to update your hello.txt to have the exact same characters. Maybe the position of the text in the window can affect that too?

In any case it looks like the microsoft terminal team is aware of it :)

@gyscos Ah thanks for the text, that helps. The plot thickens...

(Do you want to close this issue and we keep the Terminal issue open?)
