.. py:data:: FONT
   :annotation: :fontio.BuiltinFont

   The built in font


.. py:class:: Terminal(tilegrid: displayio.TileGrid, font: fontio.BuiltinFont)

   Display a character stream with a TileGrid

   Terminal manages tile indices and cursor position based on VT100 commands. The font should be
   a `fontio.BuiltinFont` and the TileGrid's bitmap should match the font's bitmap.

   .. py:method:: write(buf: _typing.ReadableBuffer) -> Optional[int]

      Write the buffer of bytes to the bus.

      :return: the number of bytes written
      :rtype: int or None
