My main and side terminal (Alacritty, and Wezterm) are both GPU accelerated and support Bitmap fonts.
- JdeBP 1y agoThose two are already balanced by Zutty and Rio. So let's have a look around at some of the emulators that make using the GPU a marketing point. DarkTile (https://github.com/liamg/darktile https://github.com/liamg/darktile) accepts TTF and OTF, so presumably if you can get your bitmap font of choice converted into those formats you are alright. GhosTTY (https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty) gained proper bitmap font support just last month, the issues list says, but is reliant upon what FreeType and CoreText can handle. It has an open issue discussing those vis-a-vis bitmap fonts. Trap2 (https://github.com/tale/trap2 https://github.com/tale/trap2) likewise relies upon FreeType. Contour (https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour https://github.com/contour-terminal/contour) at least appears to have bitmap font support. Alacritty, WezTerm, and Kitty get a lot of mentions in the issues list.
