The output of certain commands in multiple major modes (term-mode, ansi-term, shell, eshell) is incorrectly spaced (see images). This occurs for numerous commands and does not occur in other emulators (such as xterm) or a tty. It even happens when I've launched Emacs without loading an init file (using the -q flag). Does anyone know what might be causing this behavior?

EDIT: I've also tried adding colors to less (through bash and zsh) to no avail within Emacs but it works perfectly within xterm. I believe this is the same issue but hopefully it'll help someone help me.

Odd spacing of Emacs output

Usual spacing for comparison

  • Perhaps a terminfo issue? If you do not already [have the `eterm-color` support installed](http://stackoverflow.com/a/22091145/324105), do that and then try it again in `ansi-term` (`shell` and `eshell` are different). – phils Sep 30 '15 at 23:38
  • Hey phils, it seems that `eterm-color` support is present on my machine because both **/usr/share/emacs/24.5/etc/e/{eterm-color,eterm-color.ti}** exist; the *ti file wasn't present in **/usr/share/terminfo/e/** but copying it there didn't help (nor did copying them both to **~/.terminfo** which didn't exist before). –  Oct 01 '15 at 14:07
