**NOTE:** For the images to be sized correctly you need to set the `$font_width` variable.
If you don't know your font width in pixels keep trying values until the image is sized correctly.

## Issues and Workarounds
#### The image is rendering with black lines in Urxvt while using an xft font.
This is an issue with w3mimgdisplay and not the script. You can find a workaround here:
https://github.com/hut/ranger/issues/86#issuecomment-17346249
#### The text is too long for my terminal window and wraps to the next line causing the image to not render correctly.
There are a few ways to fix this.
* Disable line wrapping with `$line_wrap off` in the script or with the launch flag `--line_wrap off`
* The uptime and gtk info lines each have a shorthand option that makes their output smaller. You can <br \>
enable them by changing these variables or using these flags.
```sh
# In script options
$uptime_shorthand on
$gtk_shorthand on
# Launch flags
--uptime_shorthand on
--gtk_shorthand on
```
* Edit the info array to make the subtitles shorter
* Resizing the terminal so that the lines don't wrap.
