Bitmap font question - 16x20 or 16x22?

millus · 2021-02-12 12:30:40

Hi, I notice that bitmap fonts always have kind extreme ratios such as 1:2, or are pretty small.
Anyone know if there's a 16x20 or 16x22 bitmap font available somewhere?
Thanks!

Thanks, the description says:
Sizes: 6x12, 8x14, 8x16, 10x18, 10x20, 11x22, 12x24, 14x28 and 16x32.
So it's the extreme 1:2 ratio again that I didn't want (except for the smaller 8x14 and 10x18 which are still almost 1:2).

To be sure: you're actually looking for an extremely wide bitmap font?
Like a straight upscale of the VT220 8x10?

Check https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ibm-fonts/
https://farsil.github.io/ibmfonts/
It has some 16x16 fonts but I'm afraid that ratio fell out of fashion somewhen in the early 90ies… (latin glyphs are *much* higher than wide, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/276 … roids-font and the squeezed versions you're looking for existed because there're not many pixels on a CGA/EGA output…)

Right, 16x20 or 16x22 would be perfect. Aside from that, fonts from 14x18 to 14x22 would also be nice.
