    From Rob Swindell (on Debian Linux)@VERT to Git commit to main/sbbs/master on Sat Sep 6 19:00:51 2025

    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/con_out.cpp
    Log Message:
    Output multiple inverted question marks for > 1 width UNICODE characters

    ... for non-UTF8 terminals

    This insures that the printed string length matches the output of
    bstrlen(..., P_AUTO_UTF8)
    on non-UTF8 terminals.

    This should address the DDLightbarMenu issue described by Nightfox in merge request #569

    This helps, and things look good now. Thanks!

    Modified Files:
    src/sbbs3/con_out.cpp
    Log Message:
    Display a trailing space after full-width UNICODE chars are printed as CP437

    ... if successfully converted to CP437 or not. This also means that full-width UNICODE chars that were previously (as of commit 0fe2d71cc32d96ce83269f25cdc) displayed as multiple upside-down question marks are now just displayed as a single upside-down question mark, followed by one or more spaces.

    This fix is related to merge request (MR) !569 by Nightfox
