Yeah, I've noticed that a lot of "monospace" fonts don't actually use the same character width for all characters... What makes it even worse is that the "monospace" font used by GitHub is one of those. It screws me over from time to time as I like to format things nicely and use a lot of unicode...
I think I will need to add some images to the readme as well, just make it looks less wonky. :(
Not to get snarky (and certainly not at you, thanks for the info ;) ) but Microsoft owns Windows 10 as well as GitHub. If anyone could add a better default monospace font to the mix it would be them... :D
Copy-pasted the example into Notepad and it still looks warped. Tried to align them adding three spaces to the middle of each line except the first and last, and most rows still don't align. Changed the font from Consolas to Courier to Courier New, and they still don't align.
Maybe Unicode Braille has issues with Windows monospace fonts? iOS and Linux display them aligned.
It works for me using Pragamata Pro (my trusty default) and some preinstalled ones (at least mac) those being PT Mono, Spot Mono, and Andale Mono. It shouldn't be an issue as long as the "empty braille character", i.e. U+2800, doesn't get kerned to hell and back by the font.
