Remember pixelfonts?
- DiabloD3 11y agoI still use them for white-on-black terminals when I can.
- mhd 11y agoPixel font != bitmap font. I doubt that you use an all caps retro font for your terminal…
- quakenul 11y agoBoth terms actually describe the exact same thing. On the other hand them being "retro" and all caps is completely optional.
- mhd 11y agoBack then in the mid 00s the terminology was quite specific, if I remember correctly. After all, "bitmapped" is more about the delivery format, whereas the "pixel" descriptor is more about the visuals (and heck, you could have a vector "pixel" font if you're specific about the sizes and hinting). Kottke's "Silkscreen" was one of the more popular ones http://kottke.org/plus/type/silkscreen/ http://kottke.org/plus/type/silkscreen/
