[gentoo-user] Newsbeuter - Cannot set element colors

[Alessandro DE LAURENZIS]

Really weird behavior; I'm just following the documentation:

just22@egeo:[~]$ cat ./.newsbeuter/config 
# Browser command
browser "dwb %u"

# Color scheme
color background white black

but when I try to launch the reader, it complains this way:

just22@egeo:[~]$ newsbeuter
XDG: configuration directory '/home/just22/.config/newsbeuter' not
accessible, using '/home/just22/.newsbeuter' instead.
Starting newsbeuter 2.6...
Loading configuration...Error while processing command
`color background white black'
(/home/just22/.newsbeuter/config line 5): too few parameters.

I tried also to add optional attributes:

just22@egeo:[~]$ cat ./.newsbeuter/config 
# Browser command
browser "dwb %u"

# Color scheme
color background white black bold

but no luck:

just22@egeo:[~]$ newsbeuter
XDG: configuration directory '/home/just22/.config/newsbeuter' not
accessible, using '/home/just22/.newsbeuter' instead.
Starting newsbeuter 2.6...
Loading configuration...Error while processing command
`color background white black bold'
(/home/just22/.newsbeuter/config line 5): `bold' is not a valid color

Any hints?

You have something different from space between "background" and
"white" (you can check it editing that file in vim, placing the
cursor on that "space" and pressing "g8" in normal mode) - 0xC2 0xA0
instead of 0x20. Looks like you were able to copy "&nbsp;" somehow :)

Just get rid of the "spaces" and replace them with real one (changing
encoding to pure ascii may help).

cheers.

My only comment is: GREAT! Thank you very much, this stuff was making me
crazy. I would not be able to solve it without your help.

Cheers
