I am a brand new user of cygwin and I'm already having troubles. Whenever I
grep or cat or otherwise dump the contents of a text file to stdout, there
are extra spaces between all characters. For instance, if file abc.txt
contains:
This is abc file
then, `cat abc.txt` returns
T h i s i s a b c f i l e
Anyone know what might cause this?
The font your terminal is using.
Are you using rxvt? try setting the font as a parameter. Which fonts
are available? depends, I have Cygwin/X installed with all the fonts,
and some extra, rxvt gets the name of the font it uses from
/etc/defaults/etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt or URxvt.
