red / red

Red is a next-generation programming language strongly inspired by Rebol, but with a broader field of usage thanks to its native-code compiler, from system programming to high-level scripting and cross-platform reactive GUI, while providing modern support for concurrency, all in a zero-install, zero-config, single ~1MB file!

red-11feb16-9ff1262.exe started from X terminal in Ubuntu 15.10

In the snapshot below, cursor can be seen between b and e of number.

Cursor became al right after installing Consolas font in Wine.
So this issue may be closed.

Instructions to install Wine with Consolas font on OSX:

brew install wine --without-x11 --devel
brew install winetricks
# set Wine to default to Windows 7
winetricks win7
# install Consolas font
winetricks consolas

almost ready to go, download latest Windows automated Red build and launch it with wine:

curl -o red.exe http://static.red-lang.org/dl/auto/win/red-19feb16-f834e41.exe
wine red.exe

[should be similar with apt-get (Debian) and pacman (Arch Linux)]

I recommend including these instructions in the Red Installation instructions and thereafter close this issue.
