This uses an updated phm_bdf2flf.py converter with more precise bytes-length calculation. It makes the terminus_dots.flf font use a slightly smaller row buffer for utilities relying on the header values.

Hi,
If you feel like including more complete versions of Terminus, I ran the
ter-u12n.bdfversion 4.49.1 through a FIGlet conversion tool I'm working on.It gives the same result as the previous
terminus.flfandterminus_dots.flf, but instead of just the base 95 ASCII characters, it contains all 1355 characters from the original font, plus a FIGlet "missing character" to properly show any unknown code point.This brings full Terminus coverage to FIGlet, enabling international users to render localized banners and ensuring that any text supported by Terminus in the terminal is equally supported in a FIGlet banner.
I generated the standard half-block
terminus.flf, and the Brailleterminus_dots.flf, extending the existing ones, as well as newterminus_sextants.flfandterminus_octants.flfwhich take advantage of Unicode 13.0 Sextants and Unicode 16.0 Octants respectively.Note: Sextants and octants require terminal support for those Unicode blocks. Even when the user's font lacks them, several modern terminals now provide built-in or fallback support for these characters.
