Putty fonts different from terminal

[phirephoto]

Hello phirephoto,

I am not positive, but it sounds like your windows machine does not have the fonts installed that are used in Linux so it is using an alternative font it does have installed in windows.
If so the solution would be to install the font used in Linux on your windows computer too.
You may have to choose the font or associate it with Putty so it uses it.

Any idea what font it is? It's a straight out of the box install/
