Description
I'm surprised these aren't already supported, they're such a common (albeit old-school) terminal rendering tool. Unicode range: `U+2800..U+28FF`. I'm not sure there's much work to do to include them, just adjusting sizing I'd think. But I'm no font designer!
For a fun example: `telnet mapscii.me`
Other examples abound.

Thanks for the great typefaces.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Unicode Braille Patterns range, U+2800..U+28FF, and the existing typeface sources to understand their sizing conventions. Compare the result with terminal examples such as mapscii.me; done means the full range is supported with consistent glyph sizing across the typefaces.
