- amelius 7y agoYou could use a font specifically designed to be displayed that way.
- jokoon 7y agoWhat is the best sans serif bitmap font?
- zajio1am 7y agoI prefer rendering with strict grid-fitting, with crisp stems but antialiased arcs. Unfortunately, in current Linux, it does not work even with full hinting enabled by standard fontconfig settings, one have to set magic variable FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=truetype:interpreter-version=35 .
- chrisseaton 7y agoWhere do you find bitmap fonts that are high resolution enough for modern displays?
- enriquto 7y agoNo idea, sorry, I have never used a "modern" display. Yet terminus and the standard bitmap X fonts go to quite large sizes. They are certainly readable even when using ridiculously tiny pixels.
