Font Directory

This directory contains fonts which can used with the VGA terminal emulator component.

All characters are 8 pixels wide, and 12 high. To ease editing and viewing of the font, they are stored in a text file as a pixel map, with a '1' character representing a switched on pixel. No prizes for guessing which character represents an off pixel.

The format has two other advantages; it is easy for it to be read in by the HDL tool-chain, and it can be converted to a viewable PBM file quite easily. The conversion just requires prepending a header.

The Terminus font used could do with some cleaning up - apart from the normal printable ASCII characters, the characters outside of that range were picked at random.

Copyright

The fonts are under copyright. I believe the Terminus font to be licensed under the 'SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE Version 1.1', the iso-8859-15 Latin-0 font I am unsure of, it came with the original project and was generated from an open source font package.
