Font Fun

From Nelson's links comes a rather fantastic treasure trove of bitmap (pixel) fonts. I've been a font fanatic for years – ever since the very beginning of TrueType. Actually, I suppose I fell in love with the idea of fonts when one of my first dot matrix printers let me change the face of doucments (thereby impressing all of my high school teachers). These are the Style-Force Sempliceâ„¢ Pixelfonts. Use them wherever appropriate – most likely in Terminal applications, or those which require fixed-width proportion. I wouldn't necessarily compose an entire Word document around one of these bad boys, but I suppose if you really want to save space and ink, a bitmap font would be the way to go. I can't believe they're still legible at that size. This, on the heel's of Brad's post on new Vista fonts – with his post claiming that the World's Best Fixed Pitch Font [is] Available. There's a few new fonts right around the corner from Microsoft's ClearType arena: Calibri, Consolas, Meiryo, Cariadings, Cambria, Candara, Constantia, and Corbel.
