Thatâs right, I made these three pixel fonts in 2007. Flash was a big thing that I seemed to spend a bit of time with, and tiny text was huge (lol). Transparent PNGs were just beginning to hit the web, and if you didnât want to use one of about 20 browser friendly fonts, you had to make your text a graphic. MEMORIES.
Some tips if youâre new to the world of pixel fonts. They are designed to work at certain sizes. More specifically, incremental sizes. In all three of mine here, multiples of 10 is what you should stick with, with 10pt being the smallest (and honestly, the only thing these fonts were technically designed for). If youâre rendering them as a graphic, turn off anti-aliasing. NONE. If youâre using them in a graphic on the web, make sure that graphic isnât scaling, otherwise the pixel font will look horrible. See these have a limited use, which again, is all that was intended: small text.
I havenât modified the files at all (again, since 2007) other than some naming cleanup (they were all under the family Sursly and styled as âboo cityâ etc.). Enjoy, and Iâd love to see what you do! This ridiculousness is also on Github.
