[Request] tinyfont package

I couldn't find any links to a font but there is a deb package of it so I assume there exists one for it.
I would love to check out http://angband.pl/font/tinyfont.html

I am intrigued.  Enough that I just wasted 30 minutes looking for the deb.  Link to the deb?

Also, hilarious that he cited a post from yesterday, which cites a post from two days ago, which cites Perlin's page from four years ago.

Edit:  Tomorrow I'll script up a little fontforge and make it myself.

Re: [Request] tinyfont package

One week later.  In the process of trying to make this, I've added several font creation tools to the AUR, found segfaults in Fontforge and have generally learned way too much about how fonts work in linux.  But this is a grayscale (2 bit per pixel) font, and no tools seem to support BDF 2.3.  So I guess I have not learned enough.
