- Making Lagrange display ASCII-art heavy gopherholes in a (hopefully) nicer way.
-
- You may notice that because Lagrange has some nice and interesting way of
- detecting style and applying styles to even the Gopher Protocol which is
- basically just plaintext, that some gopherholes that really depend on being
- viewed with a consistent, monospaced font may look jacked up.
-
- For example, my gopherhole may look messed up in Lagrange unless you apply these
- tweaks.
-
- Luckily, the creator of Lagrange helped me resolve this issue somewhat. I
- reached out to him on Mastodon. You can see the toots below:

-
- What an amazing piece of software, which makes the Gopher Protocol so much more
- accessible. It's available on many different operating systems, for your phone,
- desktop, laptop, etc.

-
- Here's the solution, which worked for me on both Android and Debian:
-
- * Preferences -> page style > monospace body: enable for "gopher"
- * Disable: content -> autodetect gopher menu styling
- * A bonus I noticed: for monospace font select "Iosevka (compact)"
-
- I noticed there's still some problems with rendering --> to the right arrow and
- markdown bullets into actual bullets.
-
- Also disable word wrapping. This is under "page layout" > wrpa long plaintext
- lines (make sure to disable).
