bitmap-fonts VS Cozette

Here's a list of suitable ones. I've used leggie for things like this.

git clone https://github.com/Tecate/bitmap-fonts.git cd bitmap-fonts sudo cp -avr bitmap/ /usr/share/fonts xset fp+ /usr/share/fonts/bitmap fc-cache -fv

It’s likely I used the bitmap font ‘proggy’. Here’s a link to a number of very similar bitmap fonts I use frequently across all projects, as well as programming. They’re all monospaced of course. https://github.com/Tecate/bitmap-fonts

so i'm experimenting with linux a bit before i eventually end up switching over to it sometime in the future, so i installed arch on a VM to look around. I installed terminator as my terminal of choice (or the choice of a guide i was watching), and wanted to mess around with fonts, eventually stumbling on bitmap fonts. I decided to install a repo of them here , and followed the terminal commands they showed exactly. from what i can tell all of the fonts are correctly installed because i can see them using fc-list. Upon going into the terminator preference menu, it appears none of the fonts are visible, which i can only assume to be caused by the fact that all of the fonts are .pcf or .bdf, instead of something like .ttf or .otf, which i appear to be able to install. Is there some way to enable these fonts inside of the menu, or is there a way to convert them to a usable format? I dont really have a problem switching terminals or the like if that ends up fixing it since im not necessarily attached to this one yet. TIA.

On my previous system running ubuntu I had no problem with them so I believe the fonts themselves are fine. I obtained the fonts from this repo nd also installed via package manager with same result.

Take a look at the selection here: https://github.com/Tecate/bitmap-fonts

It's the default bitmap font since I didn't add any font in my xresources but you can get more of the bitmaps here

You might find this repository interesting: bitmap-fonts

There's cozette which has a decent amount of nerd-font icons. But the last I tried it, the bitmap version was way too small for usage.

I've used Cozette (it really is cozy and warm, looks like old games, and it's one of the few bitmap fonts that has slavic characters) for a while but it's too small for me now. The ravages of age, and all that. Now I'm using Terminus, which not only looks very nice and crisp, but also covers a good chunk of Unicode including my ěščřžýáíé runes.

Cozette

The font is Cozette btw

I personally like Cozette.

Talking about fonts for programmers, I recently discovered Cozette font (https://github.com/slavfox/Cozette). In my opinion, this is the nicest new programming font. I switched over to it and love it so much.
