These look absolutely delightful! A quick question: I'm working on retro consoles, and so I need fonts where each glyph is a multiple of 8px wide for easy display on tile-based backgrounds. Are the sizes (in pixels) of your font packs listed anywhere?
These look to be variable-width fonts. I believe the heights are multiples of 16, but the width will vary by character.

The example tile sheet in the article appears to be 8 pixels wide by my count. Count the width in pixels on the "m" and if it's 7 the font will likely work for you.
Nice work I would like microns on the vowles, as we type a lot of Māori words....

It's not really unique to Rust. Scala and Java both support this out of the box.
The stronger guarantees/performance fall out of the stronger lifetime/ownership model, combined with errors around ambiguous/invalid lifetimes being a compiler error. In other languages those violations are things you have to run a race detector and actually evoke the condition to find, or you abandon fine grained/tracked ownership and use garbage collection.

The main issue is you can't have them literally touching or it'll be really hard to read. Maybe it would work, but most of these "pixel art" fonts really benefit from some faking enabled by running on what's actually a high resolution display.
Impressive indeed. Making a complete font set can easily take as long as a year. The tasks include to go from 'A' to 'Z', upper and lower case, plus all the glyphs (brackets, ampersand, exclamation marks etc). Optionally the variations (bold, italic etc) without which a font is of limited use. The thing that separates the men from the boys is the kerning (spacing between the characters) which can absorb as much obses…

This is neat! And cool to hear this made a financial difference for them. Gah, I remember the name Chevy Ray from indie games, but I cannot put my finger on what this person made… would have been like 2010 to 2012? In the same vein as VVVVVV or nidhogg or canabalt as I recall
