Turn off terminalio for ja and ko #3295
Conversation
The font is missing many characters and the build needs the space. We can optimize font storage when we get a good font. The serial output will work as usual.

Scott and I discussed on Discord that this change means any program that uses terminalio, approximately 32 files in the Adafriut Learning Systems Guides git repo, will stop working on ja and ko translated versions while continuing to work as written for other translations.
Those programs could hypothetically be modified to use a bitmap font read from flash, if there is enough RAM memory to hold the font. This is likely to be feasible for all but the most resource constrained builds, such as Circuit Playground Express Displayio, but I didn't do any specific testing in this area.

Thanks! This will enable us to do languages we don't know how to layout too like Hebrew and Arabic. Mandarin should be doable too. |
The font is missing many characters and the build needs the space. This frees 6k or so in M0 builds with displayio enabled.
