Tall and condensed bitmap font for geeks.
Now with a bold variant!

Scientifica is largely based on creep, with a number of minor tweaks to improve readablity (a matter of taste of course).

Most characters are just 4px wide, which is brilliant for low dpi(90-120) displays.

Scientifica now has a bold variant too!

Here's a few characters that recieved a revamp:

V, *, f, W, M, ~, & , i, t, a, (), [], {}

I have also added characters to the following unicode blocks:

• Geometric Shapes
• Arrows
• Miscellaneous Technical
• Miscellaneous Symbols
• Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A
• Private Use Area
• Mathematical Operators
• Box Drawings

I will be constantly adding glyphs to this font. Keep a lookout.

Scientifica in the wild:

Scientifica now has most box drawing glyphs as well!

Latin, Polish, Solvakian, French, German accents included!

Powerline glyphs

Unicode Python:

Unicode C++ (Ligatures included)

Please read this for instructions on ligatures.

You're kidding me right?

1. Enable bitmap fonts

cd /etc/fonts/conf.d/
sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/10* && sudo rm -rf 70-no-bitmaps.conf && sudo ln -s ../conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf
sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig

2. Get Scientifica

cd ~ 
git clone https://github.com/nerdypepper/scientifica

3. Symlink it to the right folder

ln -fs ~/scientifica/regular/scientifica-11.bdf ~/.local/share/fonts/scientifica-11.bdf
ln -fs ~/scientifica/bold/scientificaBold-11.bdf ~/.local/share/fonts/scientificaBold-11.bdf

4. Use it. rxvt for example:

URxvt.font:xft:scientifica:size=11

1. Get Scientifica

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/nerdypepper/scientifica

2. Open the .dfont in the Font Book.app
   (This may not always be up to date. Try downloading the .bdf and exporting it to .dfont through fontforge)

3. You are done, I guess ... dont have a Mac to test it out.

4. Submit an issue in case you face any problems, or a pull request if you would like to correct me.

Following agenda may be followed:

• Add Control Pictures
• Add all mathematical operators (Almost) Done!
• Get scientifica to work on windows Done!
• Work on a bold version (Probably never) Done!
• Add variants for a, i, l, 1 etc.

Most Basic Latin characters are from creep by romeovs.

Creep has been optimized for linux terminals by raymond-w-ko. Check out his version here.

Some characters are based on Lemon.

Thanks to the creators of Font Forge for, well, creating fontforge.
