bitocra is a small, clear bitmap font especially for viewing a lot of lines of code or other text at once. It is somewhat stylized after the old OCR-A font, with many changes due to the format and size. It has all iso-8859-1 characters

bitocrafull is the same basic font, with extensive support for Latin unicode characters. Many of the characters in Latin Extended-A (primarily characters used in Eastern European languages as well as some others) are experimental, as I don’t use them, and need confirmation from someone more used to them as to their correctness. Any input in this area is welcome.

• bitocra13 is a much-requested larger version of bitocra. It currently supports ISO8859 encoding. bitocra13full is not quite as "full" as bitocrafull. It just adds Hebrew and certain other characters.

• bitocra7 is a never-requested smaller version of bitocra. It is currently only ascii, but will be expanded to ISO8895.

• 4thD is a 4px font that I made for fun with complete ascii 128 encoding. It may, one day, evolve into the 5thD.

In some distros, you can simply extract the archive to you ~/.fonts folder, or /usr/share/fonts (or one of it’s subdirectories) if you want it to be available to all users. After that, update your font cache with:

And restart your X session.

If you want to add it to your X core fonts, you will need to move to the directory and run mkfontdir, add the directory to your X fontpath:

This will enable it for your session. You can make it perminant by adding the path to /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you have it. If you do don’t (like most people, now that Xorg configures automatically), set the above commands to run with autostart scripts, ~/.xinitrc, or Startup Applications, depending on your WM/DE/DM situation.
