A web-font-based rendering engine for displaying ANSI/ASCII artwork on the web as text

• Usage
• Different fonts
• ANSI support
• Demonstration

Run the included build.sh script to generate the index.html file for the gallery.

Note: Currently, PHP is being used in the build.sh script as a shortcut for replacing a token in the index.tmpl file with the entire contents of the generated artwork list. Alternatives will be added soon.

Based on the parent folder of the ASCII file being rendered, ascii.js will decide which font to use.

• 80x50/ - These files will be rendered with the 80x50 DOS font
• dos/ - These files will be rendered with the 80x25 DOS font
• amiga/ - These files will be rendered with the Amiga Topaz 500 font

ANSI color/command codes are tenuously supported. Older ANSI works may be using cursor tricks that are difficult to replicate in a static fashion. If you have problems with a particular piece, try reloading it in a recent version of PabloDraw and saving a new copy.

• 8 background colors
• 16 foreground colors
• Minimal CSI code support (mainly CUD/CUF)
• Doctored font files for displaying extended CP437 characters (ex. 1-31 and 127)
