[REQUEST] - Console Font for TTY

Open reefland opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When using btop on a TTY, I can get the Braille working with:

$ curl -O -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xxxserxxx/gotop/master/fonts/Lat15-VGA16-braille.psf

$ setfont Lat15-VGA16-braille.psf

$ btop --tty_off --low-color

Describe the solution you'd like This gets a nearly perfect btop, reduced colors are expected, it's just lacking the box characters used for disks and corner characters. It seems a single font with the required characters can provide a full btop experience on TTY.

btop_tty

Hopefully someone else can chime in who has gotten even better results.

@reefland Oh nice!

You can also manually set the theme to TTY in the options to get 16 colors: image

And turn off rounded corners since those symbols are also missing: image

Then the I think the only symbol missing would be the "block" symbols for the percentage meters, but the symbol that is used instead still kinda works.

@aristocratos - Your suggestion definitely helped!

Disabled rounded corners and enabled TTY theme:

btop_tty_no_round_corners_tty_theme

That is a screen shot from VirtualBox just working a prototype setup.

Took a picture of a small 7 inch screen on one of my cluster nodes:

PXL_20220604_141038295_2

That's acceptable. Thanks for the suggestions.
