Description

What's going wrong?

PM2 is displaying by default as larger than my terminal window, and is using unknown characters for the borders.

How could we reproduce this issue?

use WSL1 bash to SSH into a remote server and use pm2 list

Supporting information

I couldn't find any styling options in your documentation, this could be resolved if I could choose the size of the outputted data as well as the character it's using for the border.

Research direction

Reproduce the display problem by using WSL1 bash to SSH into a remote server and run pm2 list. Compare the oversized output and border characters with a normal terminal, then identify the CLI output path responsible; done means the table fits the terminal and renders usable border characters or provides the requested output controls.
