• Misaligned Chinese characters

    Phenomenon When I travel outside and continue my personal project development, I will connect to my home server via SSH and use Emacs in text mode, because the unstable network connection and slow speed cannot ensure smooth GUI usage. If KDE Konsole is used and there are Chinese characters in the buffer, the text will be misaligned. I’ve confirmed that the environment variable TERM is xterm-256color and the character encoding is UTF-8. However, this does not solve the issue.

    Solution Use gnome-terminal instead of KDE Konsole.

  • Font face colors cannot be displayed within GNU screen

    I’ve tried to configure the terminal type and enable true color in ~/.screenrc as below, but it is of no use.

    truecolor on
term screen-256color
allowtruecolor on

    Solution Use tmux instead of screen. Configuration of tmux in ~/.tmux.conf

    1. Use C-z as the prefix key.

    2. Disable the status line.

      set-option -g prefix C-z
unbind-key C-b
bind-key C-z send-prefix
set-option -g status off
