 |
|
Hello.
Sometimes when i cat or tail a file, all the characters become completly deformed in that bash-shell. Everything still works like usual, but you cant read anything since all characters are so deformed. So i have to switch to another shell to continue working.
How can one 'restore' that shell without rebooting? 
I tried changing the consolefont with setfont, but the characters were still just as badly messed up. |

Hey, thanks! I also mess up my terminal like that and I was always too lazy to look for a better solution than just closing the terminal.
