This font has all 84 possible combinations if pixels based on a 3x3 grid including any that have mirror images be mindful that you add space both horizontilly and vertically this is the culmination of much work, there have been maybe one or two symbols I pulled out as they were too similiar to others, namely the lines these symbols are as such that they can be read in any direction they would read the same in other words any symbol that is rotationally the same is the same symbol in this set...assuming you rotate in 90 degrees increments.
these are the start of a set of topologically distinct unique characters.. the figure that looks like an 8 is actually just 2 circles connected... circles are identified as any closed shape that has its corners "clipped off" ie it goes accross diagonals as well as straight lines.. any morphing of a glyph is allowed according to a set of rules which I will give... if any one shape can be morphed into another following this given set of rules it can be said to be identical... the rules are as follows... a bend or turn in a line is considered to be a change in the shape, lines that are attached to a shape ie a circle or a line can be moved around and repositioned but two seperate lines cannot be made into one, a line that is bent in one ore more places cannot be unbent and must remain bent in its given orientation... a mirror image of a shape and a shape cannot be turned into one another so are considered to be seperate distinct symbols.. any number of closed shapes may be connected together and they cannot be squashed say into lines etc but they can only be repositioned so long as its basic topological structure remains the same.. those are the rules in a nutshell... now I feel that it would be good to arrange all of the glyphs in order from the ones that use the fewest strokes or marks to create , as those would be the fastest and easiest to write...If I have made any errors or ommisions with regards to this please let me know.. thank you.
hello I was looking all over for a decent and complete 5 by 7 font from the early days of computing, I could not find any so I made my own and also it is as unambiguous as I could possibly make it and covers the full set of engilsh printable characters in the range from 0 to 127, 7 bit ascii... I hope you will enjoy it as much as I hope I will.
I spent a lot of time making this font, it is based On the premise that too many fonts are way to ambiguous, so this is a fix for that, also I have added a copyright symbol, I replaced the vertical bar with the copyright symbol, because as far as I know the vertical bar symbol is rarely if ever used...( I have not seen it used in allmost anything I have viewed or read in all my life, except that it is there in the font character listing, so why is it there? certainly a copyright symbol would be more useful don't you think?) as for the "blockiness" of the C in the copyright symbol, keep in mind, that it is designed to have a maximum width of 9 pixels, so for what it is I think it is good, basically you cant get a smaller bitmaped based copyright symbol where it is as crisp and where the c is not pointed like a less than symbol and the c is not "touching" the circle it is in which would make it harder to read... so if you do see fit to use it I hope you are happy with it...
