Analog Mono and Two Slice are really neat. If you like those, you'll probably also like another of my favorite modern pixel fonts: Departure Mono. https://departuremono.com
Amazing! Thank you for sharing.

Re: A few interesting modern pixel fonts
#72I made myself a pixel font for composite (well, monochrome) video output on an RP2040: https://github.com/PhobGCC/PhobGCC-SW/blob/main/PhobGCC/rp20... (search for 1 to see letterforms) The letters are 8x15 and verticals are 2 pixels wide to work better on older CRT televisions with less-sophisticated chroma filtering on their composite inputs. I explicitly tried to avoid locking into 45 degree diagonals... My only qu…

I made PixelForge [0] a while ago just for creating pixel fonts and being able to export to TTF. I had it semi-abandoned for a few years, but I'm about to release a new version in the next few days! [1]

#78The numbers being rendered as the roman numerals in Two Slice is certainly clever. https://joefatula.com/twoslice.html

#79Anyone else still using the 7x13 "misc fixed" font that comes with X11? I just can't switch. Perfectly readable on both 14" 1920×1200 and 35" 3440×1440. Yes it's small but that's kinda the point.
The only issue is that Nerd Font symbols are really hard to read at that size, even if one manages to get them to render (which isn't that hard in alacritty but needs some extra hacks in rxvt-unicode).
