Bug ID: 508296
Summary: Konsole default fonf doesn't display braille
Classification: Applications
Product: konsole
Version First 25.07.90
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: font
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Demonstrative video: https://youtu.be/zIm4MYzdj4o
The default Konsole font doesn't work well with braille. The unlit dots are
just a fainter shade of white which makes differentiating the characters very
hard. I used ascii-image-converter in the video, but this also affects tools
like btop which uses braille to display graphs. It is next to impossible to
make heads or tails of btop with the default font
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a console program that uses braille
OBSERVED RESULT
The characters are not differentiable
EXPECTED RESULT
Some saner font should be used
