BITMAP FONTS Anonymous 04/10/25 (Thu) 05:48:06 No.2470

hello sushis!!
I wanted to make a thread asking all of you to
recommend some good looking, (WITH SUPPORT FOR
JAPANESE, CHINESE AND CYRILIC CHARACTERS) bitmap
fonts

If you can, drop a link to a ttf file, as it's easier for a noob to install in that way; if you can't do that, refer to a page with instructions or give them yourself

I use Tekuplus as of now. Really easy to install as well; just download, extract
the zip file, and paste all the ttf files onto your .fonts folder in your home
directory (If you're using windows just watch a youtube tutorial)

https://github.com/itouhiro/Tekuplus/releases/tag/v1.1.0

I thought ttf was by definition a scaleable vector font format, how do you put a bitmap font in that format?

I've got no clue, BUTTT, Tekuplus provides ttf files, so maybe they are not actual bitmap or something

Im sorry sushi, i really don't know anything about how fonts work

Aren't bitmap fonts infinitely scalable by nature, since they don't have anti-aliasing. They just look very clunky and can only scale in discrete steps.

1px → 4px → 9px → 16px …

This inspired me to look into how ttfs work.

>>2474
Sure, but if you converted the bitmap to a ttf I think it would become curves when you scaled it, because the ttf information is fundamentally stored as curves rather than a bitmap. My guess is that OP's program converts the bitmap font to a ttf font that only retains the original bitmap at one font size; I think that would be the most reasonable way to do it. So it looks right as long as you use a specific font size with it. Thinking on it more it actually seems like a good solution to making old bitmap fonts more compatible with modern programs. The bitmap fonts were only ever intended to be used at a single font size anyways, so it doesn't really matter how they scale.

This is a pretty good description of how ttf works:

Coincidental timing, sushi roll. I found these on accident recently:
https://unifoundry.com/unifont/index.html
^ has otf and tons of multilang glyphs including CJK
Also check these out:

P.S. Sushigirl stop banning TOR nodes T_T

The history of TrueType and early computer fonts is surprisingly involved and interesting, you can find interesting reading on that topic on the same domain you linked.

>>2477
Good find!

TOR nodes are not getting unbanned any time soon, too much abuse, sadly.
