Description

Add text to braille art so for instance the letter 'A' would become...

2 high - 6 dot braille
4*6

⠮⠇
⠃⠃

Windows Terminal

Similar to https://hackaday.io/project/6309-vga-graphics-over-spi-and-serial-vgatonic/log/20759-a-tiny-4x6-pixel-font-that-will-fit-on-almost-any-microcontroller-license-mit
or https://robey.lag.net/2010/01/23/tiny-monospace-font.html

2 high - 8 dot braille
6*8

⡮⠭⡆
⠇⠀⠇

Similar to https://www.dafont.com/minecraftia.font

Something similar could be achieved with unicode 13 chars https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1FB00.pdf

Alternatively the older unicode 3.2 block elements could be used https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Elements
3 high - unicode block
4*6

Hi @FredHappyface
Thanks for your comment 🥇
Sorry, I'm a bit busy these days. We will add this type of font in a future release (next few months)
Keep it open.

Best Regards

Hi @FredHappyface
As you may know, we added these fonts from fsymbols, and we only added 3 (out of 8).
We have a plan to add the remaining fonts in the next version (5.5), so this issue will be closed automatically after release.
