This makes it easier for non-blind humans to switch between "readable" and Braille text. First, open the Terminal, then type the following: banner 'MacIssues' This will create a vertical banner in hash characters of the word MacIssues and you can change the text to whatever you would like, to have a banner of that printed. While I've not used a braille font yet, I think it is there to represent the normal characters (A-Z etc.) in Braille, meaning: the ASCII character 65 or A will be displayed as ⠁. You have a text file that contains the Braille characters from the Unicode block U+28xx. If not defined OLD_ChCp set "OLD_ChCp=850" Rem set "path=c:\wherever font.exe is e.g c:\utils\systools %path%"įor /f "delims=" %%f in ('Font -s') do "OLD_Font=%%f"įor /f "tokens=2 delims=." %%c in ('ChCp') do "OLD_ChCp=%%~c" Rem setlocal enableExtensions enableDelayedExpansion REM for this usage setlocal is surplus to requirement but included if needed later Note although I used MS Gothic others will also work and you can also set font style such as weight or use different character width/height.

You will need to ensure Font.exe from that lib is found in your current path or else add the full path into the code (remove the rem before set path). Thanks to a pointer by we can add a small system FONT command, one of many by Jean-François Larvoire to switch console fonts on the fly. I'm not too familiar with scripting so feel to give constructive feedback. I installed a braille font and added it to the registry but didn't appear under properties. I created a text file for it and tried to open that txt file within the batch file but it shows a bunch of gibberish.

I would like this to appear in cmd prompt either when I execute the file from cmd prompt or by running from a batch file: ⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⠃⠄⢀⣴⡾⠃⠄⠄⠄⠄⠄⠈⠺⠟⠛⠛⠛⠛⠻⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⡀⠄
