Hi,  
just recorded my first asciinema Screencast  
[https://asciinema.org/a/IDg4m5LOKasO6YzKfZ51whJsD](https://asciinema.org/a/IDg4m5LOKasO6YzKfZ51whJsD)  
but when I let it play, all the spaces change to underscrores, which makes my  
content almost unreadable. If I look into the recorded file (org-index.cast) I do not see  
such underscores however and they do not appear if I play locally.  
So maybe it is something with the web-player only …  
Would be glad, if you could help with this !  
best regards  
Marc  
P.s.: It is a Screencast within emacs, if this makes any difference …

Hi,  
just figured out, that I only had to remove “\u001b[\>4;1m” from the recorded cast.  
This was quite easy thanx to asciinemas simple and readable storage Format 🙂

Best regards
