But I never was confident with the +outline font at low size, and I dislike the look of anti-aliasing. + +I thus decided to redraw Codec with great influence of Quadraat and +created a new, crisp 7x15 .bdf font called "sq". Since urxvt has +problems with emboldening, I also made a bold version and manually +revised the characters. The font has the full latin1 range. + +This font is in the public domain. + +To the extent possible under law, the creator of this work has waived +all copyright and related or neighboring rights to this work. + +http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ + +---Christian Neukirchen, May 2012 + +[1]: http://www.all-day-breakfast.com/cannam/codec.html +[2]: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=849172#p849172 \ No newline at end of file |
