Thanks I'll review it. None of my machines, sans my main one, has a
graphical environment installed.

Yeah, my pi500 can render ansi fine, and as long as I"m on that machine,
I can see all the glyphs. But, as I said, I wish it were easier to
render ansi on linux terminal. Even on my pi500, I may load wayfire or
whatever it's called whenever i need to do something major on the
web. Otherwise, I'm in the CLI exclusively.

For ansi art, I use the mystic ansi editor for design work.

If you have other advice, I'm often on mrc or relayed on ddial if you
want to chitchat.
