Musings of a Fondue

Fonts

Testing some fonts for possible use in my homebrew computer project.

Each character is encoded using 0’s and 1’s. A zero represents an empty pixel, and a one represents a filled pixel. For example, here’s the array to represent 8:


[
    '00000000',
    '01111110',
    '01111110',
    '01100110',
    '01100110',
    '01111110',
    '01111110',
    '01100110',
    '01100110',
    '01111110',
    '01111110',
]

Using Gimp to save a font in the X PixMap image format has yielded the best results (so far) towards automating the encoding process.
