Overview

ANAKRON is an 8x12 bold monospace bitmap font suitable for programming. Blending the thick strokes of the (C/E/V)GA era fonts with the thin strokes of more modern pixel fonts, ANAKRON is designed to feel compact like an old-school 8x8 without compromising on Unicode support or usability.

Installation

Download from Releases. Included are bitmap formats - BDF, OTB, PCF, PSF (for Linux consoles), DFONT (for Mac users) - as well as TTF and WOFF2. 2x/3x versions are available for HiDPI screens. Note that PCF doesn't contain glyphs past U+FFFF.

For the crispiest viewing experience, try to use the bitmap formats when possible. If bitmap fonts are not supported on your platform (e.g. Windows, VSCode), then use the TTF at font sizes that are multiples of 12px.

Quick Tip: If you need font size in pt, use the following conversion:

pt = px * 72 / dpi

e.g. 12px on a 96dpi screen is 12px * 72 / 96dpi = 9pt.

Nix Flakes

ANAKRON releases are also pushed to FlakeHub. anakron (also aliased to default) is the base package, while anakron-nerd includes Nerd Fonts patches.
