Beyond any reason...
« 8x8 is already mind-boggingly tiny on a >250dpi screen » and « width must match the width of a C data type in bits », I was thinking that even
titty's 5x3 font wasn't small enough for real geeks.
Seeing
prompted me to code that 3x3 font using the single atomic "█" character
ascii.sh:
Code:
fbink -c
3x3 ALT -x 0 -y 0 -S 1 -T "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789"
3x3 ALT -x 0 -y 5 -S 2 -T "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789"
3x3 ALT -x 0 -y 12 -S 3 -T "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789"
And why stop there! I also updated piczat2 so you can read the entire United Nation's Human Rights Declaration on 1/3 of a PW3 screen.
HumanRights.sh
Code:
cd /mnt/us/piczat
file="./HumanRights.txt"
Y=0
while IFS= read -r line
do
piczat2 x= 0 y= 0 -Y "$Y" w= 3 h= 3 -F 3x3 -T "$line";Y=$((Y+3))
done <"$file"
Of course this font is best viewed at 3x3
(preferably with glasses). If you scale it, antialiasing ruins the effect.
Code:
piczat2 -M -m w= 100 h= 100 -F 3x3 -T "a b c" -c
@NiLuJe, would implementing
pixelated scaling be a potential option?
