PKMN Font

$Terminal with pokemon-font containint Text: ~ $ cat poke.txt It hurt itself in its confusion! ~ $ echo -e '\ufffd' � ~ $$

I replaced my terminal font with the font from the Pokémon games.

I learned reading with this font in 1999.

The font is made by Superpencil.

Pixel fonts in a browser without font smoothing

Tinier is a pretty cool font. It is a so called pixel font, and it is just about the smallest font I could find. The letters can be displayed at a font-size of 4px. This means that each character is only 3 pixels tall.
