Solutions
A terminal that looks right, in your language too
Hindi file names and log lines read properly, not as letters broken by dotted circles, in colours you chose.
Termiyo draws Devanagari properly in the terminal — each vowel sign on its letter, conjuncts joined, no dotted circles — while keeping every column where the shell counts it, and gives Chinese, Japanese and Korean their full width. It has seventy terminal colour schemes, switched in one press. Use it when Hindi file names or log lines come out broken in other terminals, or to make the terminal look the way you want.
Many terminals break Devanagari: vowel signs float beside dotted circles and conjuncts fall apart. Termiyo keeps each vowel sign on its letter and draws conjuncts joined, while keeping every column where the shell counts it. The colours are yours too: seventy schemes, switched in one press.
Steps
Print text in any script
Connect and print some text: Devanagari vowel signs sit on their letters with no dotted circles, conjuncts are drawn joined, and Chinese, Japanese and Korean take their full width.
Switch the colour scheme
Pick a scheme from “Terminal theme” in the title bar; every open terminal changes at once. Settings › Terminal has the same schemes under “Colour scheme”, with the font.
Size the text for your screen
Ctrl and = makes the terminal text bigger and Ctrl and - smaller (⌘ on a Mac). The size is kept for the next time.
Good to know
- Light or dark for the rest of the app is under Settings › Appearance, or the menu’s Theme.
