A conversion of the classic 8x8 TempleOS font.

templeos_font's Issues

No PostScript name specified

I have a patch for this, it makes the font impossible to use in many terminal emulators, e.g. xterm, kitty, etc.

You should note that this is just the DOS 8x8 font with some glyphs added by Terry

It comes via FreeDOS.

Terry notes this in his docs. I have been thinking of writing a half joke half serious Unicode proposal for the unencoded characters and this came up when looking into the font's origin / history.

Font is missing U+0439, despite the fact Terry drew one

Will add.

Encoding woes

I'm working on this now, but this font has a particular issue because it's for an encoding that Terry, essentially, just made up.

I suggest that we handle it thus:

1. BDF font should be in Terry's order
2. We should distribute two kinds of OpenType font:
   1. one in Terry order;
   2. one in Unicode order.
3. We distribute a table to convert the encodings between one another.
4. For those characters outside of Unicode (there are actually far fewer than @rendello assumed, he just didn't know the right codepoints for them), we put them in the PUA in a space I will ask for from the ConScript folks.
