braillefont(6)

📦 version 1.0, in ubuntu jammy

✨ braillefont — bestie edition 💅

ok so this is from the Games Manual, section 6 of the manual pages, and it's literally the cutest way to print text ever. i'm obsessed. 🎀

🌈 NAME 🌈

braillefont — print text using unicode braille characters 🦋

⭐ SYNOPSIS ⭐

braillefont

that's it. no flags, no arguments, no nothing. she's low maintenance. periodt. 💖

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so bestie, here's the tea: braillefont runs interactively on the console and will convert a given text to a bitmapped version using the Braille range of Unicode. it's giving glow-up but make it dots. ✨

the way that individual characters use a grid of 6x8 (with 5x7 usable) "pixels" — and those pixels get rendered by 3x2 blocks of Unicode characters. iconic rendering pipeline, no cap. 👑

🫶 CAVEATS 🫶

ngl, there's a catch and you gotta know it: for a given text, only printable ASCII and a limited number of other characters are supported. so don't come at her with your whole emoji keyboard and expect a miracle. 😭 she said limited. 💀
