# Scientifica
Tall and condensed bitmap font for geeks.
Scientifica is largely based on [creep](https://github.com/romeovs/creep), with a number
of minor tweaks to improve readablity (*a matter of taste of course*).
Most characters are just 4px wide, which is brilliant for small displays.
Heres a comparison between [creep](https://github.com/romeovs/creep) and [scientifica](https://github.com/nerdypepper/scientifica)
<img src="https://github.com/NerdyPepper/scientifica/blob/master/images/creep_vs_scientifica.png">
## Whats different?
Here's a few characters that recieved a revamp:
`V, *, f, W, M, ~ `
A full list of changed characters can be found [here](~/images/changes.png).
I will be constantly adding glyphs to this font. **Keep a lookout.**
## Installation
### Ubuntu
1. Enable bitmap fonts
```shell
$ cd /etc/fonts/conf.d/
$ sudo rm /etc/fonts/conf.d/10* && sudo rm -rf 70-no-bitmaps.conf && sudo ln -s ../conf.avail/70-yes-bitmaps.conf
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig
```
2. Get Scientifica
```shell
$ cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/nerdypepper/scientifica
```
3. Copy it to the right folder
```shell
$ cp ~/scientifica/scientifica-11.bdf ~/.local/share/fonts/
```
4. Use it. `rxvt` for example:
```shell
URxvt.font:xft:scientifica:size=11
```
### MacOS
1. Get Scientifica
```shell
$ cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/nerdypepper/scientifica
```
2. Open the `.dfont` in the Font Book.app (This may not always be up to date. Try downloading the `.bdf` and exporting it to `.dfont` through fontforge)
3. You are done, I guess ... dont have a Mac to test it out.
4. Submit an issue in case you face any problems, or a pull request if you would like to correct me.
### Arch
You probably already know how to install them.
If not, read the [wiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/fonts).
## Credits
Most Basic Latin characters are from [creep](https://github.com/romeovs/creep) by [romeovs](https://github.com/romeovs).
Creep has been optimized for linux terminals by [raymond-w-ko](https://github.com/raymond-w-ko). Check out his version [here](https://github.com/raymond-w-ko/creep2).
Some characters are based on [Lemon](http://artwizaleczapka.sourceforge.net/)
