In Sublime Text 2 Build Output is Funky Characters

Question

For example, when I run a build with:

{
    "cmd": ["grunt"]
}

I get bash formatting output in the console. Is there a way to either display the formatting or remove the formatting characters?

Answer 1

The output looks much better if you pass the no-color flag:

{
  "cmd": ["grunt", "--no-color"]
}

Answer 2

This is not possible with ST2. Here is the official feature request:
