People seem to have trouble agreeing on what font to use when writing small block letters together
People seem to have trouble agreeing on what font to use when writing small block letters together
I've been doing this. Now everyone will know the superior small block letter font in which every letter fits into 5 by 3 pixels. I challenge you to show me a better small block letter font in which every letter fits into 5 by 3 pixels!
also I'm still trying to make it look nicer but it was taking a while so I figured I should explain why I made this
shoutout to mvirts@lemmy.world I like your green M
update: not done yet, but I wanted to ask people's opinions on the J. any consensus on which is better?
The J above the OR seems better
people do seem to prefer that one. I'll probably change it after I get the color stuff done, to give more time for people to weigh in.
This doesn't seem to be Unicode compliant.
fair lol.
It's just for pixel art/writing though. I used to use it in minecraft a lot.
What about small letters?
DEBATABLE THAT THEY EVEN EXIST. I'M NOT SURE I'VE EVER EVEN SPOKEN TO A LOWERCASE LETTER BEFORE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!
(actually I just didn't want to monopolize TOO much space on my personal random font thing. if you wanna make a version for small letters, I encourage it.)
I don't like the J. It's too similar to the I.

Better?
lots of the letters are pretty similar, but they are, in my experience, still pretty easy to tell apart when reading. Trying to get them all the same size did make it hard to make them as individual as I might have liked, but I think it has advantages.
i tried making the center of the J down the right side, but it looked lopsided... I didn't like it.
if you have a better idea for J I'd like to see it (this reads as snarky but it's genuine lol. I really would like to improve this if possible).
Your J looks good to me.
Just spotted this, which I quite like - the person doing it is using 4x3, which still works, although it does mean the M and H are the same, and no space at the top of E or F
Thankyou. Was planning on writing something in the canvas too.
Oh, hey neighbour! I'm right next to you (the DAFC badge - which doesn't adhere to 5x3, I know)
I like the J with the bar over it more than the other one, but both work.
I won't hold your font choices against you.
...much.
