            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: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: antti.savo at gmail.com
  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
