  I wonder if one could make a renderer that translates ascii characters into squares of solid colours. Colour depends on the character.

  Zoom out far enough and you have a bitmap.

    Your text renderer already does that. It’s why ascii art works in the first place. The blocks are just smaller than the characters.

    There are tools that faithfully convert images into ascii art to the point where they just look like the images with zoomed out enough.
