About Bitmap Fonts
Bitmap/Pixel fonts store each character as a fixed grid of pixels rather than as vector outlines. They're designed for specific sizes and are commonly used in embedded systems, retro computing, and terminal applications where precise pixel-level control is needed.
Key Characteristics:
- Perfect rendering at intended resolutions
- Pixel-perfect appearance at their designed size
- Common in embedded systems and retro computing
- Fixed-size representations ideal for terminal use
Common Bitmap Font Formats:
| Format | Description |
|---|---|
| BDF | Bitmap Distribution Format (Text-based) |
| PCF | Portable Compiled Format (Binary) |
| FNT/FON | Windows Font Resource/File |
| PSF | PC Screen Font (Linux Console) |
