Wonder if my ansi-img image viewer works in that. Won't compile this from source to test it, but if it's in my Linux distribution I'll do later.

Is there a way to configure another terminal font? But it's not just the font, the terminal seems to also crash. At least it's not responsive anymore and has to be closed.

You can choose the font with `twin --hs=X11,font=X11FONTNAME` or `twin --hw=xft,font=TRUETYPEFONTNAME`

I will have a look too, the terminal should not crash or stop being responsive

Thank you. Weird that this isn't in the man page or --help message. Another font didn't fix anything anyway.

I tried compiling https://github.com/panzi/ansi-img and running it inside the truecolor branch of twin, i.e. https://github.com/cosmos72/twin/tree/truecolor and it correctly displayed an example JPG I tried - no artefacts, and terminal remained responsive.

As I wrote above, I am debugging it and fixing some known issues, thus truecolor support is not yet in the default branch
