MonoMapper

This crate can be used for loading various bitmap fonts and rendering them into a buffer, it is supposed to be simple and only supports monospace fonts since it was primarily written for a terminal emulator I'm working on.

I also paid special attention to memory usage since I have quite a lot of terminals open at all times.

Limitations

• Only Monospace
• Glyphs must be less than 64 bits wide

Features

bdf

Enables support for reading bdf files, reading bdf.gz files also requires the gz feature.

pcf

Enables support for reading pcf files, reading pcf.gz files also requires the gz feature.

gz

Enables support for reading compressed fonts, like pcf.gz or bdf.gz, this uses the flate2 crate for this.

Test Fonts

This repository contains a couple of freely available fonts for testing purposes under ./test_fonts/. These files are included in the source package so the tests can be run from a packaged crate, but they are not linked into or embedded in the library itself.
