I ended up running on a version of mrxvt using bitmapped fonts which took 8 seconds. Scalable fonts took 35 seconds.
A VTE based terminal emulator took 394 seconds to display the same output.
- fxfan 8y agoHow does one convert regular beautiful fonts to bitmap fonts? I want to convert Lucida console
- Lerc 8y agoNot easily. There are bitmap font editing programs but they generally come from from a time where bitmap fonts were commonly used. By today's standards they can seem quite primitive. When I was doing stuff with them 10+ years ago it was quite a struggle.
- fxfan 8y agoSurely if their perf benefit is publicized, more people would use them creating a demand for such tools? Oh wait- there are people who find electron acceptable... Sad state :)
