Forums Scripts & Popups Terminal Fonts Don't Render Correctly in 7.1

Just tried 7.1 with my script. As most of the scripts these days utilize Terminal based font's that contain special chars that make the presentation of things look better (example boxing in a whois) they no longer render correctly in 7.1. See my comparison screenshots below.

For reference I am using bright.fon however all terminal based fonts (ex. dosapp.fon, vgaoem.fon, terminal.fon) render the same way

Is there a generic work around for this?

Thanks

As you were told in your other post about this same thing, just put the correct unicode version of those characters into your script.

mIRC is now a Unicode application, which means the characters you print have to be unicode characters. Find the unicode equivalents for your existing script and update it to use those characters.

Note that characters between 128-255, like $chr(196) are no longer font specific. $chr(196) is the unicode codepoint for 'LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS' (U+00C4), which is why you see that "A" everywhere. The Unicode codepoint for the horizontal line is 'BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT HORIZONTAL' (U+2500) or $chr(9472).

Convert all the respective characters and you will have a working script.
