DINOFIVE bitmap font
A downloadable bitmap font
A BITMAP FONT FOR PEOPLE WITH GOOD EYESIGHT
- PNG containing 348 glyphs at 5x6 pixels per glyph
- Windows bitmap .FON version
(only first 256 glyphs, no box drawing or block elements) - implements the following unicode ranges:
- Basic Latin
- Latin-1 Supplement
- Box Drawing
- Block Elements
- first 256 glyphs are in exact unicode order (starting at 0)
- easily adressed programmatically, without a lookup table
- one jump condition required for box drawing and block elements
(the latter two are in unicode after the jump in unicode address)
Since my previous font, DINOBYTE is very retro and its codepage 437 character mapping involves some fiddling in code to display correctly, I wanted to create a version with a unicode mapping, so that it could be used to write e.g. German, French, Spanish, Swedish etc. with it and be used in Windows as well.
Turns out the unicode box drawing range has more glyphs compared to codepage 437 and you can draw more border variations!

I can't understand how to get a box drawing. I imported this font into Godot and need to set the range of decimal symbols for that font, letters and numbers work perfectly in the decimal range 0-127 but in 128-255, there are no box drawing glyphs :(
I'm a newbie in font things.
Hi, thank you for this great font.
