  • What version of GNOME is that? – George Udosen May 20 '17 at 13:11

    Looks like the font in the terminal needs to be changed to a Mono type font like `DejaVu Sans Mono Book` or something similar. Some fonts, like TTF fonts, can tend to overlap or space unevenly in terminal windows. – Terrance May 20 '17 at 13:21

  • @jeremy.Snidaro changing to Monospace font solved the problem – Hamza Nasim May 20 '17 at 14:52
