burnfont 
This is a hand-crafted 6x6 pixel font, defined by code, originally created in 1997.
Here is a generated image with all available letters in this font:
Here is the same image, but scaled up 4x:
The font is a bit nostalgic to me, and was used in my small DOS drawing program named Burn. The palette that came with Burn is available here. The GUI was drawn with 320x200 pixels, 256 indexed colors (mode 13h), and looked like this:
The font definition looks like this:
case 'k':
fontLine("***", x, y)
fontLine("-**", x, y+1)
fontLine("**-**", x+1, y+2)
fontLine("****-", x+1, y+3)
fontLine("-**-**", x, y+4)
fontLine("*** **", x, y+5)
* is a 100% opaque pixel, while - is a 25% opaque one (mostly transparent).
Contents
This Go package has a slice Available that lists all available runes. There is also a Draw function that takes an *image.RGBA value, a rune, a position (x and y) and a color (r, g and b) and draws a letter at that position in the image.
- The
cmd/scaledexample outputs an image where each "pixel" of the font is 4x4 pixels. - The
cmd/lettersexample outputs an image where each pixel is a pixel. - The
cmd/txt2pngexample can render text as a PNG image.
Generating an image
The scaled utility can be built and run like this:
cd cmd/scaled
go build
./scaled
