Re: Terminator font issue
The likely reason for space distortion in a terminal is because the font in question is probably designed for variable spacing. By design, terminals use a font with a fixed spacing - such as monospace - in order to look nice. The reasoning is that newer terminal windows, like those in Linux, use fixed space fonts by default for maximum compatibility with older terminal screens.
Using a variable spaced font will not do any harm, except that some of the letters will be squished a little bit. As to why it works at work but not at home - is it the same font version or terminal setup?
Re: Terminator font issue
You are right when I choose fixed space fonts it looks fine. It is strange that at work I could get variable spaced fonts to appear without jumbling them up.
I will just keep the font to fixed space fonts for the time being though.
Thanks for your help TJ.
Re: Terminator font issue
Just a last thought, perhaps your terminal at work has a setting that compensates for variable fonts? Only thing that might make sense if you are using the same font and terminal software.
