Which font to use?

[KoB-Kirito]

Hey, nice app, but I got some problems with the font.

I'm using Windows Powershell, and there Lucida Console is the default. Pretty, but almost none of the needed chars there.

I installed Inconsolata and Fira Code as you suggested, but:
Inconsolata is quite ugly (in my opinion) and has weird spacing and misalignments in the images.
Fire Code is nice, but some chars are missing (I'm getting some ? in the images).

So what font would you suggest?

I'd suggest San Francisco Mono(Mac pkg here<https://developer.apple.com/fonts/>, otf files here<https://github.com/supercomputra/SF-Mono-Font>), Hack<https://sourcefoundry.org/hack/>, and Ubuntu Mono<https://design.ubuntu.com/font/>.

Almost no fonts render the traingular glyphs correctly. They do so incorrectly.

Unscii renders them correctly.

Also Microsoft monospace fonts tend to miss some needed block chars.

I think we have disabled the triangular glyphs for that reason.
