Star Wars Asciimation (2015)

In Firefox (v82) the text-field does not seem to render in a strictly non-proportional font. Thus everything is garbled. Unfortunately w3m text-mode browser isn't capable to display the page...

[EDIT] The following steps fix playback in Firefox for me:

- I press F12 to open the web-developer tools,

- select the "Console" Tab

- at the prompt at the bottom (marked by ">>") enter:

  document.querySelector("pre#screen").setAttribute("style", "font-family:Monospace;")

- press Return. Renders correctly now.

For me (Firefox 82 on Ubuntu) everything works fine out of the box. #screen has "font-family: Courier New,Fixed;" set.

I'm running Firefox, installed from upstream, running on Devuan Beowulf. With the default "Courier New,Fixed" font family set it's just not working.

If I'm not mistaken, Courier New is one of Microsoft fonts; if you're on Linux there is an installer available for various distros; on apt-based systems it's:

  sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer
