Unnamed VCR Font

Resurrecting fonts from the datasheets for old OSD chips. Whee!

Directory structure is as follows:

  • sources - Original source datasheets, together with images extracted from them via the pdfimages command.

  • scripts - Scripts for doing the conversion.

  • raw - Raw 1BPP binary data parsed from the datasheet images using scripts/parse_bitmaps.py with the default parameters.

  • map - Character mappings corresponding to the character data in raw, with one Unicode ID (and optional comment) per line.

  • bdf - BDFs generated from raw and map files using scripts/make_bdf.py.

  • kbits - Source files in Bits'n'Picas format, converted by loading the BDFs in that app and adding metadata.
