Nothing like good clean crisp bitmap fonts.
Crisp? Maybe. Clean? Definitely not. More aliasing jaggies than a hand saw.
mfw i'm making a cereal at crisp 4am with zero hours of sleep
Scalable vector fonts at high DPI are where it's at.
>>109590327>phone poster revealed
>>109590317I don't like the kerning on that one, makes it a bit hard to read.
>>109590355This. Fonts are perfect in phones, PC monitors should be the same
>>109590317What font is this?
>>109590491It's an oldie but goodie that I only was able to locate due to some Internet archaeology. Sony NEWS's default font. IIRC it was also used in the Sony Readers.Comes in two sizes, small and large!
>>109590499Thanks! I remembered this being posted before but couldn't remember the details
>>109590577A very similar font can be seen on older SGI systems, before Irix, can't remember what they used to call their old OS. But it lacks Japanese characters, which this Sony font has. IMHO it probably came from Bell Labs or someplace, I think I've seen it on old Suns too.
>>109590619I can't judge the Kanji but the Latin letters are very nice imo, a lot more character to them than Ricoh's bitmap fonts
>>109590499>Sony NEWS's default fontWell, could you upload it?
>>109590839That's copyrighted material, anon.
>>109590867Ah, you're one of those types, well, hopefully one day you'll stop being this pathetic.
>>109590872>don't say please>immediately becomes faggy when instant gratification isn't availableWhy don't you go searching yourself, child?
>>109590867Fuck you. You're a moron.https://www.freshports.org/x11-fonts/font-sony-misc
>>109590317Terminus chads were we @?
>>109590888Thanks, I'm not sure if this is the same one too.https://fontinfo.opensuse.org/families/SonyFixed.html
>>109590951What are you looking for specifically
As a bonus this is why >>109590867 is a moron, specifically.
>>109591014I didn't keep those files so I didn't have permission, because I didn't have the COPYING file which I would have needed to satisfy the terms of the license and allow me to redistribute it.Didn't you even read what you just posted?
Also I doubt those are the same files because a couple dozen KB file isn't big enough to hold all the Japanese characters.
>>109590317What is with lincux tards and fonts? I have never even though about it before retards like op started talking about it constantly. Is it just severe autism?
>>109591241OP here, I don't use Linux and that isn't a screeshot of "Linux" at all, why are you like this? Emacs runs on practically every computer OS made in the last 40+ years.
I like bitmap fonts. they make every pixel matter.for me, best one is vga 8x16.
>>109591251Emacs is linux coded, lol bro.
>>109590317I saw this shit literally months ago and you got assblasted like you deserved.What drives you to try again? We're all the same anons, you aren't squeezing out a win.
>>109591320How did I get ass blasted? I always win these little Internet slapfights, always.
>>109591302I first used it on a Nextstep computer, so it's more Apple coded, in a way.
>>109591054Don't worry, you'll have enough time before your death to regret your lack of kindness.
>>109591367Ah yes, you did so it must be so. You are the universal trendsetter after all.Are you genuinely autistic?
>>109591398Enjoy your new AI features in your OS, it will be magical I'm sure.
>>109591413What does that have to do with fonts, dude? Are you high?
bitmap fonts are a product of technological limitations and should be left behindsaying this as someone who has compiled a customized version of bmfont for special purposes
>>109591451What about for teeny tiny screens and stuff like embedded?
>>109591451it will be left behind once there's something better.can you name something better than vga 8x16?
>>109591464Which vga 8x16 do you like?https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/
>>109591456>>109591464anything more than 3x5 is bloat
>>109591484there's only one of such on that webpage! ibm vga 8x16.
>>109591519https://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/?2There are more pages... my VGA card was a Trident so I didn't have the IBM VGA 8x16 font.
First VGA card I should say. Next I had a Voodoo 3, which has its own onboard VGA adapter and I don't know which font it uses.Then I got a Powerbook G4 which had the ATI VGA font and you could get at it by booting into the OpenFirmware console, which was great for tinkering with the computer.In fact most computers even today have a VGA or VGA-alike console mode with some built in fonts. If they have a display adapter at all.
>>109591543trident 8x16 looks very similar to ibm vga 8x16.
>>109591581In those days IBM would sue if the font was exactly alike, probably meant you cloned their VGA ROM and etc. directly so the dodgier Taiwanese companies would just clone the fonts and change a pixel here and there, the Europeans and Americans would actually create their own fonts sometimes.
>>109591593that's some funny business considering fonts are uncopyrightable in usa.
love bitmap fonts. I used to use Montecarlo with the M+ Helvetica clone and my own custom fixed 7x14. Unfortunaltely it's too annoying to deal with in browsers and mixing aliased and antialiased fonts looks horrible
>>109591666It wound up being a huge pain in the ass to get emacs to finally use bitmapped fonts only, first it would try to scale them, sometimes they wouldn't show at all. Other times the line and character spacings wouldbe funky. It took me months to get it completely right because edge and corner cases kept popping up. Must have added 40 lines to my .emacs file.
>>109591685Yeah configuring fonts on emacs can be tricky. Every time I overhaul my configuration I end up using a different method and a different unit.
Are you insane?
>>109591864Do you feel blame? Are you mad? Uh, do you feel like wolf kabob Roth vantage?
>>109591864What's crazy about comfy bitmapped emacs with old school authentic fonts?

>>109590317This looks like shit, increase the gap you clown.
>>109591241so you're proudly non-discerning and tasteless?
>>109592152he probably uses an ultra high-dpi screen where even fonts pulled out of one's ass with no regard to alignment or hinting look smooth and readable.
>>109591955Ps/55 re. jpn version is most best
>>109591955There are a lot of nice ones to download there. Modern conversions anyway.
>>109590327FPBP.>>109590371Not on a phone, you can literally see issues with "486" in bold 25pix font right there.
