## Which font? | ||
|
||
### TL;DR | ||
|
||
* Pick your font family and then select from the `'complete'` directory. | ||
* If you are on Windows pick a font with the `'Windows Compatible'` suffix. | ||
* This includes specific tweaks to ensure the font works on Windows, in particular monospace identification and font name length limitations | ||
* If you are limited to monospaced fonts (because of your terminal, etc) then pick a font with the `'Mono'` suffix. | ||
* This denotes that the Nerd Font glyphs will be monospaced not necessarily that the entire font will be monospaced | ||
|
||
### Explanation | ||
|
||
Once you narrow down your font choice of family (`Droid Sans`, `Inconsolata`, etc) and style (`bold`, `italic`, etc) you have 2 main choices: | ||
|
||
#### `Option 1: Download already patched font` | ||
|
||
* download an already patched font from the `complete` folder | ||
* This is most likely the one you want. It includes **all** of the glyphs from all of the glyph sets. Only caution here is that some fonts have glyphs in the _same_ code point so to include everything some had to be moved to alternate code points. | ||
|
||
#### `Option 2: Patch your own font` | ||
|
||
* patch your own variations with the various options provided by the font patcher (see each font's readme for full list of combinations available) | ||
* This is the option you want if the font you use is _not_ already included or you want maximum control of what's included | ||
* This contains a list of _all permutations_ of the various glyphs. E.g. You want the font with only [Octicons][octicons] or you want the font with just [Font Awesome][font-awesome] and [Devicons][vorillaz-devicons]. The goal is to provide every combination possible in this folder. | ||

1. WHAT'S THIS? | ||
=============== | ||
|
||
|
||
BigBlue Terminal is a monospaced pixel font, designed for use in fixed- | ||
width textual environments (consoles/terminals, text/code/hex editors and | ||
so on). It follows the metrics and dimensions of Windows' old Terminal | ||
font (at the 9pt/12px size), but the appearance is closer to the classic | ||
IBM PC text mode character sets. | ||
|
||
At 8x12 pixels, Terminal is nicely compact and useful, but also kind of | ||
ugly. Instead, BigBlue Terminal is closely based on IBM's 8x14 EGA/VGA | ||
charset -- I just like it better. Basically, that font has been squeezed | ||
and modified to fit into a 8x12-pixel cell. For the extended 'Plus' | ||
version, many additional Unicode characters have been added to support | ||
international scripts and symbol sets. | ||

3. SIZES & DISPLAY | ||
================== | ||
|
||
|
||
3.1. Pixel and point sizes | ||
-------------------------- | ||
|
||
The native font size is 8x12. Since this is a pixel font, it'll look | ||
best at a size of 12 pixels (or integer multiples of 12), whether you're | ||
using the bitmap or TrueType versions. Otherwise you *will* get fugly | ||
artifacted scaling. | ||
|
||
On Windows, this translate to 9 pt (at the default screen density of 96 | ||
PPI); on Mac, you'll want 12 pt (72 PPI). Do the math for other screen | ||
densities. On newfangled super-high-PPI displays, scaling artifacts | ||
become less apparent, so you may be able to get away with arbitrary | ||
sizes. | ||
|
||
|
||
3.2. Rendering | ||
-------------- | ||
|
||
Current operating systems usually have subpixel anti-aliasing enabled by | ||
default: ClearType on Windows, FreeType on Linux, Core Text on Mac OS X. | ||
This is less than ideal for TrueType pixel fonts, since it may introduce | ||
a sort of "color fringing" effect in some cases. | ||
|
||
In practice I don't find it *that* noticeable, but it bothers you, you | ||
can get rid of it. On Windows, turn ClearType off or use the bitmap | ||
(.FON) version. On Linux, there are ways to disable anti-aliasing for | ||
specific fonts with FreeType. You'll have to see your docs/the web on | ||
how to pull that off though. | ||
|
||
|
||
|
||
---------------------- | ||
4. FORMATS & ENCODINGS | ||
====================== | ||
|
||
|
||
4.1. BigBlue Terminal 437TT (TrueType, CP437 charset) | ||
------------------------------------------------------ | ||
|
||
This version features the Codepage 437 character set (DOS/OEM-US). Since | ||
any TrueType font can (and should) include a Unicode character map, this | ||
is still a Unicode font, and has multi-platform support as such. | ||
|
||
CP437 can be problematic to map to Unicode, due to characters 00h-1Fh and | ||
7Fh: they can be interpreted either as control codes, or as graphical | ||
symbols. Thus there are two 'canonical' Unicode maps for CP437, and | ||
software that expects one of them may not play nice with the other one. | ||
|
||
This font covers both bases in the same mapping: the problem characters | ||
are duplicated so that your program will find them at either placement. | ||
Windows detects the font as an "OEM/DOS" one, and you can use it in any | ||
program/environment that understands this charset (including the Command | ||
Prompt). The same will be true on other platforms, as long as your | ||
software is properly configured -- RTFM, GIYF, etc. | ||
|
||
|
||
|
||
4.2. BigBlue TerminalPlus (TrueType, extended charset) | ||
------------------------------------------------------- | ||
|
||
This is more of a "Unicode font" as most people grok the term. On top of | ||
the CP437 range, this version supports extended Latin, Greek, Cyrillic | ||
and Hebrew scripts plus a bunch of additional glyphs and Unicode symbols. | ||
|
||
There are 782 characters in total (more than the Windows Glyph List 4 -- | ||
in fact the entire WGL4 range is there). Some were based on various | ||
international codepages, others were drawn entirely by hand to match the | ||
visual style. A handful of the cp437 characters had to be remapped (see | ||
the next section), but they're all still around as well. | ||
|
||
|
||
|
||
4.3. BigBlue Terminal 437BM (Windows bitmap, CP437 charset) | ||
------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
|
||
A straight bitmap version of the DOS/CP437 charset. This may still be | ||
more useful than 437TT in certain situations: | ||
|
||
|
||
* You don't need to modify the registry to use it in the Command Prompt | ||
(or any console window). | ||
|
||
* .FON isn't Unicode, so this version can force the CP437 encoding on | ||
programs like Notepad, which insist on failing miserably otherwise. | ||
|
||
* Bitmap fonts aren't subject to ClearType subpixel anti-aliasing. | ||
|
||
|
||
|
||
------------------------------------- | ||
5. 'PLUS' VERSION CHARACTER MAP NOTES | ||
===================================== | ||
|
||
|
||
If you care about this sort of thing, you can use your favorite font | ||
viewer to see the full character range. Windows has charmap.exe (I like | ||
SIL ViewGlyph better), OS X has Font Book, etc. A few things that may be | ||
of interest about the expanded 'Plus' character mapping: | ||
|
||
|
||
* Alternate number forms: there's a flat-top "3" mapped to U+01B7 | ||
('Latin capital letter Ezh'), which is more easily distinguished from | ||
the Cyrillic letter Ze. Also, two alternative zeroes (dotted and | ||
slashed) are mapped to U+2299 ('circled dot operator') and U+2300 | ||
('diameter symbol') respectively. | ||
|
||
* Cursor shapes: Unicode character U+2581 ('lower one eight block') can | ||
be used to mimic the classic text-mode cursor appearance. U+2584 | ||
('lower half block') and U+2588 ('full block') could also stand in for | ||
those respective cursor forms, too. | ||
|
||
* The 'Plus' version includes a full Greek alphabet, which takes over | ||
the code points that Unicode assigns to the Greek/Math characters from | ||
DOS codepage 437. Instead of just dropping the CP437 originals, I | ||
tried to preserve them at remapped code points that make *some* sense. | ||
Here's what's changed: | ||
|
||
|
||
CP437 Canonical mapping from Modified 'Plus' mapping | ||
Char CP437 to Unicode from CP437 to Unicode | ||
------- ---------------------------- -------------------------- | ||

á (E1h) U+00DF 'Latin small Sharp S' U+03D0 'Greek Beta symbol' | ||
â (E2h) U+0393 'Greek capital Gamma' U+1D26 'Small capital Gamma' | ||
ã (E3h) U+03C0 'Greek small Pi' U+1D28 'Small capital Pi' | ||
ä (E4h) U+03A3 'Greek capital Sigma' U+2211 'N-ary Summation' | ||
å (E5h) U+03C3 'Greek small Sigma' U+01A1 'Small o with horn' | ||
ç (E7h) U+03C4 'Greek small Tau' U+1D1B 'Small capital T' | ||

é (E9h) U+0398 'Greek capital Theta' U+03F4 'Capital Theta symbol' | ||
ê (EAh) U+03A9 'Greek capital Omega' U+2126 'Ohm symbol' | ||
ë (EBh) U+03B4 'Greek small Delta' U+1E9F 'Latin small Delta' | ||

î (EEh) U+03B5 'Greek small Epsilon' U+2208 'Element of' | ||
|
||
|
||

||
------------------ | ||
6. BONUS DOS STUFF | ||
================== | ||
|
||
|
||
Yes, you can get BigBlue Terminal working in actual DOS too, because you | ||
are just THAT oldschool! The following files will let you do that on any | ||
VGA-compatible DOS machine (or in DOSBox, PCEm and so on). | ||
|
||
|
||
* BLUETERM.COM: a TSR program (courtesy of ripsaw8080) that gives you | ||
a 640x480 text mode with the 8x12 font -- 80 rows by 40 columns. It | ||
persists across mode changes, and I find it nice to use in DOSBox, | ||
since 640x480 is a square-pixel resolution and doesn't get mangled by | ||
aspect correction. | ||
|
||
* BLUETERM.F12: the raw bitmap font data, usable with any font-loading | ||
program such as Yossi Gil's LOADFONT (from the widespread FNTCOL16 | ||
archive). You'll typically get the standard 400-line text mode, and | ||
with a 12-scanline font this gives you 33 rows of text. | ||
