💌 Bitmapped programming font, based on Tamsyn
This is my personal fork of the wonderful Tamsyn font by Scott Fial. It is programatically forked from Tamsyn version 1.11 by the
Rakefilescript (see the "Building" section below) which backports glyphs from older versions while deleting deliberately empty glyphs (which are marked as unimplemented) to allow secondary/fallback fonts to provide real glyphs at those codepoints.
The "TamzenForPowerline" fonts provide additional Powerline symbols, which are programatically injected with ZyX_I's bitmap-font-patcher. I later hand-tweaked those symbols to perfection in the gbdfed(1) editor:
$ cat screenshot.txt ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 12345 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz 67890 {}[]()<>$*-+=/#_%^@\&|~?'"`!,.;: Illegal1i = oO0 The quick brown fox, (..) Hello, jumps over lazy dog. /__\ World!
Using a package manager:
Manually, in Linux:
Download a release or clone this Git repository into
~/.fonts/tamzen-fontand then run:
xset +fp ~/.fonts/tamzen-font/bdf xset fp rehash
You should now be able to see the "Tamzen" font family in
xfontsel.
Manually, in Windows:
ttf/folder into your Windows Fonts folder.
Manually, in macOS:
ttf/folder into your Font Book app.
Switch to a Linux VT (virtual terminal) by pressing Control-Alt-F1.
Run
showconsolefontto see how the character map currently looks.
Run
setfont ~/.fonts/tamzen-font/psf/TamzenForPowerline10x20.psf.
See how the character map now displays glyphs from the Tamzen font.
Try running
setfontwith other Tamzen fonts in the
psf/folder.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts#Console_fonts for details.
The following Xresources let you dynamically switch between the various Tamzen fonts by holding down Control and right-clicking in the XTerm terminal.

Feed the above snippet into the xrdb(1) program and then start a new XTerm to see its effect. Afterwards, you can add this snippet to your ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources files to have these settings be automatically applied by XTerm.
The following aliases let you dynamically switch between the various Tamzen fonts when run inside a shell that is attached to the URxvt terminal.

You can build the Tamzen fonts for yourself by running these commands:
bundle exec rake # build things only when necessary bundle exec rake clobber # destroy everything that we built bundle exec rake clobber default # rebuild everything from scratch
sudo apt-get install ruby git imagemagick mercurial bdftopcf bdf2psf fonttosfnt default-jre gem install bundler bundle install
Requirements for bitmap-font-patcher:
sudo apt-get install python python-fontforge python-pip python-dev libfreetype6-dev pip install --user bdflib pip install --user Pillow
