The set of characters that have been used to display large text using Large Type by the HP 2640 series of terminals.
because negative space is all the rage these days
i put like 0 effort into this so there might still be some font left over, lemme know if you find it
btw how many times has this been done before? i'm genuinely curious
recommended use: don't
alternate name: the emperor's new font
All letters and numbers are only 3x5 pixels (with the exception of 3 letters which are 5x5) making this the most pixely pixel font out there! Currently some symbols are supported, and more may be added in the future.
Recent changes to this font:
- I updated the font so it works better on the new spacing.
- I added a few symbols.
A monospaced 3x5 font used in Vidora15 and later programmable electronic displays made by AMFA Cybernetics (formerly "ATMA Robotronics").
This font is made with AMFA encoding in mind. As such, the character set is very limited and there are no glyphs which require NKRO>1 or buckybits (Alt, Ctrl, Fn, Shift, Strg, option keys, etc). The glyphs normally present at these codepoints have been reverted so that any text displayed in this font is also effectively displayed in AMFA encoding. The encoding has 48 possible glyphs (including one which doubles as both "null" and "new line") so there are 96 glyphs in this font overall.
Hope this saves you some work, Feng! :^)

Since this exact font and encoding scheme were used in other devices and software, some of which were (or had) games, I'm also tagging this with Game Recreations.

Original size: 4pt (use multiples of this size for pixel perfection)

PC Font recreations: "Terminal" (Style 3, coding is OEM/DOS)
This font only appears in Notepad, MS Paint and nowhere else, so replicating it might be a good idea.
The most amazing thing about this font is that it changes its style depending on the chosen font size. More styles and "More Latin" coming soon.
