Using bitmap font in light theme is blinding me even faster. It causes me feel dizzy.Īlso I usually using light theme when using them, because dealing with white canvas in dark Truetype font in some apps like Firefox, LibreOffice, GIMP & Inkscape. I don’t use them in GTK because they will be mixed with Notification, and any font needed by Openbox like titlebar text (but not visible), root menu,Ĭlient menu, & on screen display. Htop task manager, and many other terminal apps. Because I use them in URxvt, it also affects my ncmpcpp music player, ranger file manager, I use them for writing article with markdown, shell scripting, editing plain textĬonfiguration files, editing XML (I use Openbox by the way), and many other, using Vim inside I’m not a programmer or in any IT profession, so I don’t know if these font could work for These fonts are designed for my personal preferences, maybe not suitable for you. I have been enjoying it, time to share the delight. But my curiousityĭrove me to make some experiment with bitmap font. I kept repeating it until several weeks (I couldn’t fix them in one night, I have If when I was using it I felt something not right, I launched FontForge again and modify I needed a lot of trials of modification & use. I kept modifying the characters until it could satisfy me.Īnd it was harder than I thought. So, I tried to open M+īitmap font then used it as the base.

Dot in lowercase “i” and “j” only separated by one empty pixel from the line.Has same height of cross in “t” and “f”.Seven pixel average uppercase & numeric height.Two pixel descent part, too make it well aligned with iconic font in statusbar.Reduced pixel to make it less cluttered.Lowercase “i” at least filling three pixels width.Lowercase “l” at least filling four pixels width.Slashed zero, I don’t want dotted zero.

But when I find aįont that has less curve, it usually too boxy. Has less curve, to make it looks less pixelated and comfortable for my eyes.I know I canĪdd line spacing in URxvt configuration. I want extra line spacing for readability reason. I want a small bitmap font that can fit in 6x10 bounding box, but placed inside 6x12 boundingīox for extra line spacing.Other than size, PIXIJS BitmapText can set an alignment to align the text, and give a tint to set a color.This is a post about several bitmap fonts I modify from M+, Tewi, Lemon, & Siji.Īt first I modify them because I can’t find any bitmap font that suitable for my personal If that value is too small, it can be increased in a new export from BMFont. Make sure to set that value here as well. The best size for the bitmapfont is the size you set in bmfont. As the size we defined in BMFont is 64, pixelation can occur in the characters. here 128px is the size needed for the font of the bitmap text. The font size has to be passed with the name. The ‘face’ property in the font descriptor XML is the name that should be passed for this object. In the setup function, create a BitmapText object with the font passed and add to the PIXI stage. Here PixiJS 4.8.1 is used.Ĭopy your fnt file and font image to assets folder, and add the path to fnt file in your PIXI loader. PIXIJS is a fast javascript rendering engine which is useful for making HTML5 games. Let’s try loading this bitmap font in a PIXIJS rendering loop. Note how the font settings and export settings are saved in the info tag and common tag.
