- bluedino 10y agoI liked this style of font when I had an 800x600 laptop or even 1280x800 but with today's screens it's just to small. Making it large enough to look visible works better with a vector font.
- cyphar 10y agoAnother bitmap, programming font I really like is Dina[1]. It's MIT licensed (though this isn't mentioned on the home page). [1]: https://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Jibz/Dina/ https://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Jibz/Dina/
- userbinator 10y agoI can see the point of licenses on vector fonts containing nontrivial characters with many complex shapes etc., but at these small pixel sizes it seems like a bit of a fool's errand to talk about licensing/IP at all --- e.g. there's only so many ways to put pixels on a 6x13 grid and make it look recognisable as the letter 'M'. Hence all these small bitmapped fonts are extremely similar, with only slight variations in things like serifs/lack thereof, slashed zero/plain zero/rounded zero/etc. --- which are themselves a handful of pixels' difference. They all look almost like xterm6x13, which is public domain.
- cyphar 10y agoAll works should have a free license. It's better to be safe (I'll just add a licence anyway) than sorry (I didn't add a license and now users are technically violating copyright). If a court decides otherwise, that's a separate issue. But until that court case, I will continue to license everything I make under free licenses.
- apotheon 10y agoGood. You're doing it right. I'm going to try out Dina in XTerm, by the way.
- fit2rule 10y agoI just ported LOAD81 to the PocketCHIP, which has a screen resolution of 480x272 .. I'm going to see how Glean makes it look .. ;)
