iterm
Recently I changed iTerm2's default setting so that the default font size is larger when I open it up. However this increased font size only seems to apply to the standard characters. The non standard characters are still small when I open up iTerm2.
How can I make the non-standard characters the same size as the other characters?
ls output with colors (ls -G) is not the default option. Run the following command in your terminal to enable ls colors by default:
echo "alias ls='ls -G'" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
This and all future terminal sessions will now display colors correctly.
If you're still not seeing colors on your remote (or local) session follow these steps:
In iTerm verify that you're sending a terminal type that supports colors. Open the preferences window -> Profiles -> Default -> Terminal. I'd recommend putting xterm-256color as the Terminal Type.
While connected to the remote machine, run ls -G and open the iTerm preferences again: preferences window -> profiles -> Default -> Colors. Adjust the ANSI Colors, and turn the minimum contrast down until the colors in the terminal window start to show color.
If the remote system supports ls --color=always, remove any existing aliases in ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc and update as follows:
echo "alias ls='ls --color=always'" >> ~/.bashrc
With the \033]0;TEXT\007 escape sequence.
Example of use in Bash: echo -ne "\033]0;$PWD\007"
Which you could add to your $PROMPT_COMMAND if you use Bash, or otherwise attach to you PS1 so it gets re-evaluated often.
Example: export PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;$PWD\007"'

Use a different font for non-ASCII textTo make this change first go to the preferences page. You can get to the preferences page either by pressing Command+,or by going to the top left of the Iterm2 screen clicking "Iterm2" then "Preferences". Once at preferences, to get to the specific spot mentioned above it might be helpful to reference this picture.
