Looking for good font options for a low-resolution, 320x240 screen
Here's a list of suitable ones. I've used leggie for things like this.

Could someone ELI5 this command for installing fonts ?
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

Have seen a couple pages likely inspired by my original. Comes with accompanying Firefox theme.
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

terminator not showing .pcf or .bdf 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.

some fonts (e.g. BDF) only show up in a few plces
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.

There are some screenshots of how it looks in my dotfiles repo. I just make the few glyphs that I need at a time, it doesn't take very long and it's kind of fun.
