Troubleshooting
Fix the graphs
Ref: https://github.com/aristocratos/bpytop#notice-text-rendering-issues
The graph drawing uses the Braille Patterns Unicode block to simulate filled regions in line graphs, but if the font that your terminal emulator is using includes the unused dots in the characters as open holes, the result will look something like this:
Here are some ways to fix that on Arch Linux:
Method 1: remove gnu-free-fonts
When some package requires ttf-font, this package usually gets chosen. However, the fonts are kind of ass, so as long as you have another package that provides ttf-font, you're ok to remove gnu-free-fonts
Method 2: Install an overriding font
Sometimes you can find font packages that come pre-configured as preferential, and also cover the target glyphs. Some examples:
ttf-dejavu
I'll add to this list when I find more that work like this out of the box
Method 3: Explicitly configure font fallbacks
Start by identifying a font that you want to use, and covers the braille characters, then set that as a default or fallback font per these instructions from the Arch Wiki
