I don't know why when x11docker is used the font type and size of the terminal change.

it happens if I run runx only. However, it does not happen with x11docker.

Yes, it happens if I run runx only. However, it does not happen with x11docker.

runx and x11docker use some escape codes for colored output. Maybe that causes the font changes on MS Windows? However, than it should happen with both of them.

You could try:

  # Terminal colors used for messages and --verbose=c
  Esc="$(printf '\033')"
  Colblue="${Esc}[35m"
  Colyellow="${Esc}[33m"
  Colgreen="${Esc}[32m"
  Colgreenbg="${Esc}[42m"
  Colred="${Esc}[31m"
  Colredbg="${Esc}[41m"
  Coluline="${Esc}[4m"
  Colnorm="${Esc}[0m"

echo "Hello previous world $Colgreen Hello green world $Colnorm Hello normal world"

I tried the test you suggested, and it works as expected. No strange font change.

I once found that the font change happens even before one line of code is executed.
I admit that I don't feel very encouraged to investigate further as long as this is not a big issue and not basically caused by x11docker itself.
I'll just close unfixed.
