[Pkg-xmpp-devel] Bug#963131: /show could send as monospace

[Enrico Zini]

Package: gajim
Version: 1.1.2-2
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

Thank you for maintaining gajim.

I just learnt of the /show command, which runs a shell command and posts
its output. It works exactly as intended. What could possibly go wrong?

The first use case for this command that comes to my mind would be to
find out how to turn it off. The second, is to admire how to make it
easy to be annoying with something like "/show echo "LALALA" | figlet"

However, the output is sent with a proportional font, breaking the
formatting and making it hard to be annoying in a proper vintage
fashion.

If the feature is there to stay, can it at least send the output
formatted with a monospace font?
