I started programming on Macs in the early 90s, and I used BBEdit the entire time that I was on the platform. I no longer work on Macs, but I would love to see a Linux version. Never going to happen, but it's one of the few pieces of software that I still miss.

  I believe you can create a TTF font with embedded bitmaps in it. At the specific size, it should use the bitmap font. At other sizes ... , well, don't do that. https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/97#issuecomment-579094656 https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/97#issuecomment-5...

I've thought of switching to Linux, but until BBEdit is ported, I'll stay on the Mac.
