Uniform spacing about termbox-go

[nsf]

It probably won't work for this character. Termbox doesn't handle non-standard cell sizes correctly. I tried doing that, but there is no way to do that 100% correctly and in a cross-platform fashion. So, the code which tries to do that is probably broken.

Terminals aren't a good target if you want to draw fancy things.

Labeling it as a feature request. Because well, termbox was designed around an idea of fixed-sized cells. But terminals and windows console don't work exactly that way.

Generally, Unicode characters with fixed size fonts are indeed fixed size. (The exception is that some Asian characters are double wide, and there are glyphs that are technically zero width -- because they are combining characters like accent marks that have to be applied to a following or preceding character.)

Now, that said, if you know that you're using Unicode, there are some line drawing characters that are part of the Unicode character set. Using those, you can get nice boxes on most terminals. That won't work for non-unicode character sets.

Generally, I try not to rely too much on availability of special characters in console applications.
