Description

hello! is it possible to add a parameter to modify display ratio? I'm using IBM-like bitmap 8*8 fonts, so the map is displayed with the wrong ratio :)

Research direction
Investigate the rendering code in mapscii, likely in the main JavaScript file, to identify where the display ratio is set. Consider adding a command line flag or environment variable to allow users to specify a custom aspect ratio. Review any existing configuration options and how the bitmap fonts are handled. Look at the issue comments for any additional context from the maintainer.
