Braille glyphs not showing on terminal #250
-
|
I'm running a Raspberry Pi with Open Media Vault, which turns a Raspbian Lite install into a NAS. When running btop on a SSH connection (PuTTY), it runs beautifully, but when I run it on the terminal (HDMI monitor connected to the Raspberry Pi), only TTY characters are shown. I've played a lot with console-terminal configurations. It behaves as expected, except I can't make the terminal to show braille characters. Is it possible to display braille characters on the terminal? If so, how to do it?

It probably possible with some custom framebuffer driver and custom fonts, but not in a standard linux console with standard fonts. |

That's about what I feared. Also, starting with --tty_off gets even uglier. It seems I'll just have to accept to live with those TTY symbols. Thank you! |

Btop automatically detects if running in a real tty so you also need to start with
--tty_offto disable tty mode in the console.
