Spleen Monospaced Bitmap Fonts
- jasonjmcghee 11mo agoDid the ASCII art in the README get mangled?
- duskwuff 11mo agoNo, it's just an odd style of lettering inspired by graffiti throw-ups. I think this style is popular in the warez community. (It just says "spleen". Nothing exciting.)
- jasonjmcghee 11mo agoThanks - really had no clue. Turns out reading warez-style ascii art is not my forte!
- unwind 11mo agoTIL the term "throw-up", thanks! It's weirding me out that Wikipedia's page features graffiti of the word ... SPLEEN to illustrate [1]. Wut. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throw_up_(graffiti) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throw_up_(graffiti)
- Karliss 11mo agoUsing the font itself and setting line spacing to 1 instead of whatever Github uses makes it slightly easier to understand.
- duskwuff 11mo agoI'm not sure I like it. A lot of the character shapes (like the C and S) feel too rectangular at large sizes. At smaller sizes, some of the alternate character shapes like the Y, and the rounded corners on characters like F and L, harm readability.
- chasil 11mo agoThis is the console font for OpenBSD (on x86-64, at least).
