This is a monospaced web font capable font that is
designed to be used in the context of ASCII art.
Every character in ASCII that is not alphanumeric, is
designed to avoid discontinuities. E.g. "-" will look like a
continuous line when typed like "-------"
This font has no spacing between
each other.
Essentially like semi-graphic fonts for drawing boxes, but
for ASCII art. Helps ASCII art look better.

Will try to make this in a few weeks time.
edit: Too bloody annoying to make this font. Even in
bitmap. Image in link for those who want to bother
giving it a shot.

Where the special font is essentially remaps the "#" as
solid black block, and "_" as solid black
line.
Oh btw did you know you can type the break tag in half
bakery for newline <b`r> (remove ` )

Baked in the 1970's by a number of early 8-bit machines like the
Apple II and the Commodore PET. |
|
| |
What did the apple II and commodore PET font look like? And
how well does it work with ASCII arts (if we remove spacing
between fonts)? |
|
| |
8 x 8 block fonts, no spacing or descenders. But on the Apple, the HRCG is held in RAM so you can make it do anything you like... |
|
| |
Simplier solution here ahoy! |

Is there a way to use that in the halfbakery? |
|
| |
Only if bakesperson@gmail.com decided to place it in the
site's CSS, and allow for a `<code>` tag or something like
that. |
|
| |
If she allows for it, I would recommend that we have
`<code class="ascii-art">` specifically for ascii art. This is
since this method will make normal text harder to read
(since it pushes characters together) |
|
| |
I haven't emailed her yet. But do give it a shot. Might
work. And should still be in the "half bakery" spirit. |
|
| |
//use that in the halfbakery ?// We've probably covered it before: you could check the internal categories. |
|
| |
I don't think we need it. But if you want it for you alone, you could paste the equivalent javascript into the console, or make a browser extension to have it permanently. You could have the whole halfbakery displayed in the c64 truetype font in [zen_tom]'s link. |
|
| |
Why do you have two accounts? |
|
| |
Switched name to this one. Not sure why I am still logged
in
as the old account, maybe it was because I posted from a
different browser and forgot to log that out. (Would have
thought it would be deleted by now.) But anyway,
everytime
you see that name, just mentally switch it to my new
one. |
|
| |
edit: checked, and yea I was still logged in that old old
browser. |
|
| |
Anyhow, another link added. This one compiles all the
different kinds of CSS you can do for ascii-art |
