Yes Windows Terminal is getting better, but it's not perfect yet. I found this checklist about getting the best display of unicode which helps a bit. Certainly you need to use the new Terminal, not just the default Windows shell. https://akr.am/blog/posts/using-utf-8-in-the-windows-terminal > * If there are a lot of headers in the document, the /structure/ > display overflows and only the top headers will be displayed: > gemini://h2903872.stratoserver.net/cgi-bin/man2gmi/-k%20str Yes, that's a known limitation for now, although most Gemini pages have less than 10-20 headings which works fine. I might add a scrolling list for such situations, but my thinking for now is that generally having them directly in a menu makes for rapid interaction. I think Romulus is the first console application to show the document structure, but I'm happy to be corrected if not. > * Something doesn't work right when you paste a Gemini-URL out of > another browser into the input-box of Romulus, it either reported > that i was unable to connect or crashed: Yes, it expects a full URL, so if the "gemini://" scheme is missing it did not default to it.

It would be nice to be able to configure the timeout. Its a possible enhancement, certainly the underlying library SmolNetSharp allows this as a parameter on the request itself. I've created some issues on the repo to cover the above items. > That's it! - I'm trying to make it run in Linux and will test there. Thanks - I'd be interested to hear how you get on - Luke
