Truncation at startup.

What I see now is that font size doesn't make any difference, the 
startup message is consistently truncated to 13 char width (before your 
fix it was 14 characters).

It looks like once he terminal font size is big enough to reach beyond 
the right limit of the terminal, even with just a period, the truncation 
is over.
Decreasing font size again so that the startup message fits within the 
screen limits and the truncation is back at 13 chars.

Enigmatic...
