Specifcally the braille output. I have some black and white vector images that I want to convert, and the braille characters really preserve those sharp edges Ā· 10 months ago
for drawing directly i use: https://fsymbols.com/draw/
for converting pictures or art to ascii: https://www.ascii-art-generator.org/
and for headers, titles, etc: https://patorjk.com/software/taag/ (similar to textkool that freezr sent) :o) Ā· 10 months ago
On FreeBSD and Linux you may found figlet... But I discovered this later.
