8x8 tty font utility

ft8

8x8 tty font utility. Includes some bmp image handling and scripts to generate resized variations of a joj font, for use in the linux console.

joj fonts

jojft is an image format I made up. Basically, it stores 8x8 glyphs into 1 bit per pixel, totaling 64 bits per glyph.

The default font lycon is provided with this repo, both because it's a backup for my own font and to demonstrate usage:

ft8 8,16,24 ~/AR/ft8/lycon ~/AR/ft8/fonts

Outs 8x8, 16x16 and 24x24 versions of lycon to the ARPATH font directory.

For more information on how to work with AR packages, refer to the avtomat repository, where the example script AR-install demonstrates it in detail.

TODO

• frontend for jojft unpack
