    ```
    if(console.term_supports()&(USER_ANSI|USER_NO_EXASCII|USER_UTF8|USER_ICE_COLOR)
    != USER_ANSI)
    return false;
    ```

    It appears that's intentional?

    Oh wait, that test is broken anyway...

    So there's a few interrelated issues there...

    1. XBin makes extensive use of the blink attribute.
    2. ICE mode changes what the blink attribute does.
    3. Synchronet knows the difference between bright background and blink

    So the Graphic object will set the blink attribute, Synchronet knows the remote doesn't support blink, so it won't be sent, and you see the base characters.

    If the Graphic object is updated to translate BLINK to BG_BRIGHT (now in master), this changes the colour of everything and looks terrible. Most of the xb files have a black background, which is changed to bright black (ie: dark grey). The Rush logo looks even worse.

    There does appear to be another issue in the font selection, it's not clear if it's a terminal-abstraction issue, a SyncTERM issue, or a correct result of using ICE mode.

    Oh, one more thing, the degree to which SyncTERM "supports" ICE colour is up to the BBS... it's not under user control at all.

    Fixed in terminal abstraction branch.
