I long for the time where we used crisp, non-scalable, beautiful bitmap fonts. So called "anti-aliased" fonts look always irremediably blurry.

- Gualdrapo 6y agoI'm still using custom bitmap font for monospaced things (text editor, console and such). No antialiased thing has made me changed my mind - bitmap fonts just look so crisp and sharp and readable.
- opan 6y agoAgreed. I changed terminal emulators from Termite because of pango dropping bitmap support. Alacritty and foot both support bitmap fonts and Wayland. Unfortunately many many more programs still can't use bitmap now. Sway, swaybar, waybar, wofi, mako. Pango is everywhere and it sucks. I can make my terminal and emacs look crisp and clear, but a lot of other things look blurry now.
