On a vaguely related note, I recall that classic Macintosh, sometime in the 1990s, had (possibly unofficial and/or hackish) operating system support for colour bitmap fonts. But I can't find any reference to this on Wikipedia or Google searches.
I wonder if anyone else remembers this; perhaps there's an opportunity to document/archive something about typography which might otherwise get forgotten.
- marbletiles 4y agoI think you're thinking of the Amiga, which had support for ColorFonts – the Kara collection was made famous by Deluxe Paint
- LocalH 4y agoEven there, colorfont support was not part of the OS until 2.0 (or maybe 2.1, can’t remember). In the 1.x days you had to load the ColorFont wedge before you could use them
- simondotau 4y agoIn this instance I'm definitely talking about Macintosh.
