[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #9024] Colour-coded output text

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #14, patch #9024 (project octave):

GUI screenshot attached. More or less similar results with the CLI.

Yes I think on Windows in the GUI ANSI sequences aren't recognized/processed.

I'll try Linux later on - rebuilding w/o patches from a fresh clone from
before John's doc changes followed by cross-building + installing needs due
attention and it's almost midnight here :-)

Like you I fail to see how any of the patches I included could affect the
color cset. 
In libgui/src/ you might follow the sources to see if there are specific
Windows clauses that could give a clue. AFAIU the GUI terminal on Windows is
different than the one on *nix.
Maybe ANSI sequences should be dropped in favor of the way terminal font
colors are set in the terminal preferences tab? I suppose JWE prefers
identical code paths for as much OSes as possible.
