It's pretty cool, but it doesn't quite line up for me. Unicode characters (but ... "ASCII"?) are the prime culprit, but something also going on with the 'delimitting' header lines too - they're way off.


Broken for me as well.

Looks like certain assumptions about max length of weather numbers causes unnecessary additional padding resulting in misaligned borders.

I think that's a problem with the font, actually - it's supposed to be monospace, but the diagonal arrows (e.g. ↗) are about 1.5 times the width. I have the same problem.

(Or maybe not "the" font, but fonts in general - perhaps it's trying to use one font, which doesn't have these arrows, so it falls back to a different one?)


Funny thing is, it aligns properly in the terminal (cygwin here)

Yeah, because it's not showing the diagonal arrows.


If you have a font that supports proper monospaced unicode, it works: http://cl.ly/2f410i1k270D


Thanks for confirming. Can you share the font/fontname you are using? I would like to install it on my PC as well...

Update: Looks like they fixed it now. I just re-visited the site after posting this comment and see that there are new monospace arrows rendering in a properly aligned manner.


Works fine for me in Chromium, Firefox/Iceweasel and curl..


Agree it doesn't render well in Chrome for example. In elinks and firefox under Linux it looks fine for me though.
