Hello, it seems using ansi-color-apply in Emacs-28 is not working properly, there is no colors. In Emacs-29 it is working properly (very nice) without needing a workaround used previously in emacs-27 (code commented). See code below to reproduce and Screenshots attached. Thanks. #+begin_src elisp (defvar wttr-weather-history nil) (defvar wttr-weather-default-location "Guillestre") (defvar wttr-weather-last-location nil) ;;;###autoload (defun wttr-weather (place) "Weather forecast with wttr.in.
