I'm trying to print a chess board in the console, using the piece's unicode chars. On my Linux system it works great in the integrated intelliJ-console with my console font set to "Source Code Pro", but if I try to print the same output on a Windows machine, the chess characters are much wider than all other characters.
Here's how it looks on my linux machine:
And this is how it looks on Windows machines (I have tried two independent machines so far):
How do I fix the widths of the unicode characters? The font is the same across all machines, Windows or Linux, Source Code Pro. Here's a screenshot of the Console Font settings:
Does anyone have an idea why this happens?
Here's the text output:
