Proportional bitmap fonts in several fixed sizes. One place where they were used a lot that comes to mind is those phones from the 00s, but also many other embedded devices that have a screen with text-based menus.
- Someone 3y agoThat’s what the Mac used, too. For examples, see http://kare.com/apple-icons/ http://kare.com/apple-icons/ Before TrueType (System 7, 1991), it was the only thing the OS supported out of the box. (Adobe Type Manager (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Type_Manager https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Type_Manager) is a bit older than 1991, but (obviously from its name) wasn’t an Apple product)
