I'm using macOS Mojave 10.14.5 and I'm having color problems when accessing a CentOS workstation.
Initially, after connecting via ssh, I would obtain the following welcome message:
Then I added the following commands to the bash file:
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
and I commented the following line in /etc/ssh/ssh_config:
# SendEnv LANG LC_*
After all this the welcome message I get is without errors but still distorted:
What i should get is the following (i got it using iTerm2 3.2.9):
How can I fix the colors? The command that prints "virgo-cluster" is:
figlet -f slant virgo-cluster | lolcat -t

I believe the odd behavior is due to the fact that Terminal.app does not support True Color (16 million colors), while iTerm2 3.2.9 does. Here the result of a test code from here:
the top panel is from Terminal while the bottom one is from iTerm.
