This is 5x13, a condensed pixel font built on 6x13 ("fixed").

The goal is to create a well readable font that is only five pixels
wide, such that you can fit four 80-chars wide shells next to each
other on a 1600x1200 display.  5x13 is special in being pretty tall,
which greatly increases readability.

It only covers ASCII 7-bit for now, as well as some selected German
special characters.  Patches are welcome!

Inspirations in order of importance:
* -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1
* artwiz-aleczapka lime
* Rotis Grotesk
