W3m does not show Figures at Fedora Server 36

In Ubuntu Server, I can install in peace w3m through:

sudo apt install w3m w3m-img

Therefore with w3m <url> is possible render a web page and see the Figures - it thanks to w3m-img.

For Fedora Server 36 through:

sudo dnf install w3m w3m-img

The output indicates it is already installed. Ok

Therefore with w3m <url> is possible render a web page but it does not show the Figures, appears either [something-img3] or [numbers] etc. It working with the same URL.

How to fix this?

As far as I can see, it depends on the terminal emulator used.

On Terminator it doesn’t work for me, on Alacritty it doesn’t work as well, but images are correctly displayed using xterm.

Thanks for the reply

I am not an expert about this, but it is the default available through Fedora server 36 itself - is there a command to know what is the current emulator and how change it? It to let me do a research and see if exists a possible consequence if it is changed.

Thanks for that data - I hope it can be changed in some way for Fedora Server. If is not possible, perhaps do other setting.

Thank You
