ModeSeven is based on the bitmap font in Teletext televisions,
|
|
1980s-vintage Videotext terminals (such as the Prestel system used in
|
|
the UK), and the BBC Micro computer. (The name derives from the BBC
|
|
Micro screen mode which used the teletext character generator.)
|
|
|
|
This font looks "natural" at a size of 20 pixels, or any multiple thereof.
|
|
However, it has been hinted as to scale as well as an ex-bitmap font
|
|
can be expected to.
|
|
|
|
This font was created by hand with Fontographer 4.1.2 on a Macintosh.
|
|
The character definitions were worked out from a bitmap version of the
|
|
Teletext font created by James Fidell, and included in xbeeb (a BBC
|
|
Micro emulator for UNIX/X11). The spacing of the original has been
|
|
preserved, which is why many character shapes are aligned to the right
|
|
of their cells.
