Underscore not displayed in the Juno's REPL

LaurentPlagne · January 15, 2019, 4:36pm

Hi,
The underscore character appears as a white space in my Juno’s REPL.
Do you have similar experience ?

cserteGT3 · January 15, 2019, 4:52pm

Works fine for me with v1.0.2.

LaurentPlagne · January 15, 2019, 5:04pm

Thank you. I also run v1.0.2 and an up to date juno… (1.34.0 atom and 0.2.0 uber-juno).
On the following screen shot I wrote toto_4 both in the editor and in the REPL:

I have an older atom: 1.33.1 for Atom and uber-juno 0.2.0
(But after checking them, somehow I messed up my Atom (juno) and don’t have time to resolve it now.)

This is a known upstream issue with the terminal library used by Juno:

Sorry. I have looked for underscore on discourse but not on the Juno’s issues.
FWIW the problem disappears when I check the FallBack Renderer Console option.

How did you fix it exactly? I’ve been having that issue for a while and will like to figure it out.

LaurentPlagne · January 15, 2019, 10:34pm

I clicked Julia button in the top menu
→ Settings
→ Console Options (you have to scroll down a bit)
→ validate the Fallback Renderer button
It solved the problem in my case.

I changed to a different font.

alejandromerchan · January 15, 2019, 11:59pm

Which one worked? Deja Vu Sans Mono doesn’t display the underscore and cuts the lower part of j and g.

The FallBack Renderer did not solve the problem ?

The Fallback Renderer option should definitely be a workaround for this issue.

Source Code Pro works fine for me.

cormullion · January 16, 2019, 11:38am

Deja Vu Sans Mono has very low-hanging underscores, for some reason.

alejandromerchan · January 18, 2019, 4:16am

I finally settled for monospace. The Fallback renderer option alone didn’t fix it. But thanks for bringing it up in Discourse, because it was something that I was meaning to fix.

LaurentPlagne · January 18, 2019, 6:54am

Thank for the feed back. I like the Hack font.

Vasily_Ilin · April 6, 2019, 10:53pm

How do I change the font?

LaurentPlagne · April 7, 2019, 8:18am

Julia → Settings → Editor → Font Family

Bernard_GODARD · September 4, 2019, 10:00pm

I have the same problem. The fallback renderer does not help.

There is no Editor section under Julia->Settings in my installation.

I have tried:

Latest Juno with atom 1.37 official Linux binary on Oracle Enterprise Linux 7.
Latest Juno with atom 1.40 from flatpak on Ubuntu 18.04.

With the first one, I also tried installing the fonts package and changing the font: it changes the editor font but not the console font.

alejandromerchan · September 4, 2019, 11:01pm

You have to go the julia-language package settings, I believe. That’s where you can change the font, which I what I ended up doing.

Bernard_GODARD · September 5, 2019, 6:54pm

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately I do not find a way to change the fonts in the settings of language-julia or that of julia-client.
