Text rendering not correct in text apps from within linux x-window
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I'm trying to figure out why my system isn't rendering text correctly in console boxes on a GUI (x-window) like desktop, yet they render correctly in a console alone outside of the GUI.
Here are the notable examples:
The minicom terminal program: If I don't launch X windows and I just run minicom, the borders are normal with lines around the blue box edges. If I run minicom inside "konsole" (a terminal program for the X system) then instead of lines around the box, I get the "@" symbols as the box border.
Colours of file listings: If I run ls without launching X, then some filenames appear in colour. If I do it on "konsole" and run ls on the exact same folder, then every item is listed in the same color.
I also download some simple scripts that use the ncurses library and they too have the same effect as minicom has.
How do I go about fixing this?
I'm running WindowMaker as my primary X application.
