You can do colours as well!
Oh nice, I'm only just getting started and still don't know what possible, funny how we use the same font XD
Oh cool, I believe only 4bit colours are possible, you can use this table from Wikipedia and the escape sequence
\e[<FG>mreplacing<FG>with your chosen foreground colour. Also\e[0mto reset everything.Haha yeah! I noticed that too!
I think I just used regex look aheads and look behinds to insert the colours easily.
Edit: Oh you can change that actual TTY font to a bigger one, if the text is too small too.
