What font is used to show the minesweeper example in the readme? It survives copy-and-pastes into other editors: http://i.imgur.com/21QzHYJ.png

Those characters are fullwidth unicode characters[1] that Monaco apparently does not provide (an application or system default is used).

Bingo!

Edit: Here are some other nice unicode examples:

About half of these work on my Windows Vista machine. Curiously, the third-last example works except for the S.

Is there a font one could install so all of these are visible?

The last time I had such an issue was because I hadn't installed them when installing the OS of the machine... that being said, it was win95, so I have no idea.

> font-family: Consolas, 'Liberation Mono', Menlo, Courier, monospace;

But how can that be? Especially in vim. Does not happen on Linux.

No idea! Maybe it's actually using unicode characters, instead of plain ascii?

Haha, that was fun. :P https://twitter.com/minetweeter_/status/606481421633482752

Darn! I had this awesome idea! Somebody else has done it already!

Oh well, might do it anyway :)

haha I thought the same! I made a quick check, and that account popped up
