This is great! Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated since 2016 and isn't suitable for applications outside Terminal.app. But apparently someone else took up the mantle and rebuilt it to solve those issues and published it as creep2:

> I love romeovs's creep font, but I think you could only use it well in Apple's Terminal.app because it has negative line and character width spacing, which the font requires to be spaced correctly. The root cause of this appears to be because some glyphs are bigger than the 5px by 11px bounding box, causing most terminals to think a much bigger box is necessary for the general ASCII glyphs.
> In order to fix this issue, I manually hand painted all the glyphs from the 'creep' font in fontforge.
Awesome! I just wish creep2 added some of those sweet demo photos that are in the creep README.
- vletal 5y agoThanks for the link! My tiny little display attached to RPi is very much looking forward to trying it out.
- phinnaeus 5y agoAwesome use case, thanks for the idea!
- thih9 5y ago> some glyphs are bigger than the 5px by 11px bounding box Out of curiosity, which ones? Did anyone find them?
- GekkePrutser 5y agoDoes a font really need regular updates? But it's probably possible to convert Mac fonts somehow
- MisterSandman 5y ago2038: Fonts have subscription models. Times New Roman is a Windows exclusive and costs $12/month. There exists an open-source alternative to subscription fonts but it hasn't been updated in 2 years because the guy maintaining the repository is in jail for pirating Fast and Furious 18.
