Bug Description
Collate a good corpus of texts for on-screen Ubuntu Monospace testing; this should show:
single and double width CJK usage
text-based email
shell
ssh/command-line sessions
On-screen the font is more commonly used gray-on-black, instead of black-on-white, and a good proportion of the samples need to show this.
Easiest format is probably going to be HTML, possibly with some grotesque table hacks to show double-width CJK on a correct grid. In GNU Screen the "hardcopy" command does not cope with UTF-8, but the Writebuf command does work with a copy more steps required:
1. Take a PNG screenshot (as a reference, and for colours)
2. Under GNU Screen, do:
2a. Ctrl-a [ (start to copy region)
2b. Select whole of terminal top-left to bottom-right
2c. Press enter (save region to buffer)
2d. Ctrl-a > (Writebuf)
2e. Attach /tmp/screen-
