I like your idea a lot and would like to download it periodically with cron and then feed the file to my screensaver as it cycles.  I am downloading it with curl.  I don't need colors, but it would look great if I could get the boxes to line up.  The download command I am using is:\r\n\r\ncurl -s wttr.in/?T?n > file.txt\r\n\r\nI am then feeding file.txt to my xscreensaver starwars screensaver text crawl in a list of text files.  When I use the standard font, I get the linedraw characters, but the boxes don't line up.  When I try different fonts most don't get the linedraw characters, and none get the characters and have boxes that line up.\r\n\r\nCould you please suggest a download string and font combination that will appear correctly?\r\n\r\nThanks\r\n\r\nif you have this font installed and add this to the starwars screensaver settings it will work.  this info might be useful for other programs as well.  It needs to be a fixed width UTF-8 font that includes the linedraw characters being used. \r\n-font -*-dejavusansmono-medium-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/chubin/wttr.in/issues/comments/388705493","html_url":"https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in/issues/196#issuecomment-388705493","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/chubin/wttr.in/issues/196","id":388705493,"user":{"login":"cheapy","id":7473967,"avatar_url":"https://avatars2.githubusercontent.com/u/7473967?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/cheapy","html_url":"https://github.com/cheapy","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cheapy/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cheapy/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cheapy/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cheapy/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cheapy/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cheapy/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cheapy/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cheapy/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cheapy/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-05-14T05:59:28Z","updated_at":"2018-05-14T05:59:28Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"There is a thread about it on AntiX forum at:\r\n\r\nhttps://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/making-productive-use-of-the-xscreensaver-to-display-text-instead-of-conky/\r\n\r\nHere is a zipfile of the code to run it. \r\n[bobs_xscreensaver_text_driver.20180514.zip](https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in/files/1999478/bobs_xscreensaver_text_driver.20180514.zip)\r\n"}}
