Thanks for the suggestion. Do you happen to know what this is licensed under? I don't see licensing information on the page that you linked.

From the FAQ:

The only item that distinguishes the ttyp0 license from a plain BSD or
MIT license is the name change requirement.

[chrissimpkins]

Perfect. Thanks much. I will get it into the repository. Do you have a recommended size for the specimen images?

Aren't all the specimen images must be of one size?

[chrissimpkins]

I have been trying to format the bitmap fonts in the ideal size.

Well, use 8x16 then -- it is the default size on the font preview page

[chrissimpkins]

will do. thank you!

[chrissimpkins]

I am working on OS X and this is released in a bdf format. Looking into a way to generate the preview images for the gallery.

[flowchartsman]

I laboriously converted these to .dfont awhile back. Here they are. Note that valid bmp sizes are 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,22 for regular and bold and 15,16,17,18 for italic.
tty0.zip

Also of note is that the .dfont files appear to need to be separate. Attempting to generate a dfont family breaks things in OSX for reasons I'm not sure of. In any case, installing them separately will still result in one font from the perspective of the OS as FontBook will bundle them together.

[chrissimpkins]

@flowchartsman thank you very much!

[flowchartsman]

Before you close this out, I have just realized that the version I posted uses some of the alternate glyphs, which are explicitly against the design decisions of the original author. If you are going to include it under the name "UW ttyp0", I would prefer that you let me re-render the font as he intended. Otherwise, I am forking the project for my own use and with the intent of creating modern font formats like ttf and .dfont. If you are amenable to that, we can use it instead.

[chrissimpkins]

The modifications with use of the same name are prohibited by the license that is linked above in this thread. If you change the name of your derived designs we can include the original license with your downstream design. The license looks like a BSD/MIT style permissive license with an additional reserved name field added to it. Let me know how you would like to handle it. There is no rush and I won't close this thread until it is in the gallery or resolved in some other fashion. I generally try to get back around to this project every six months or so to update with new typefaces.

[flowchartsman]

That’s only for distribution, and I didn’t modify his glyphs, I just built it with alternate ones that he didn’t prefer. I’ve forked the font under a new name, and will try and get it building properly soon.

Sorry, yes I was referring to distribution through this repository not that you did anything wrong by modifying the design in any way. Look forward to seeing it when ready.

[flowchartsman]

https://github.com/flowchartsman/greybeard Done. Let me know if there are any problems.

[chrissimpkins]

Thanks @flowchartsman!
