This is a reincarnation of a bitmap font I made years ago. It is designed for programming code listings and aims to be extremely readable. It combines features that I liked from Lucida Console, and Proggy Clean, hence the name Progsole. Previously, the font was a Bitmap Distribution Font and therefore not scalable to different sizes. Thankfully, I found fontstruct and was able to make it a .ttf file. Because of it's early limitations (see http://www.proggyfonts.com/ for the original version) I was pretty much the only one who used it but since it's in .ttf format now I think it could be useful to a larger audience. As satisfied as I am with it i'm always open to suggestions on how to make it even better. Enjoy!
This fontstruction is made for programmers and coders. It's focused on beeing very small, monospaced and easy to read. It includes many international glyphs. It isn't possible to draw some very exotic letters at this small size, so I abstracted or modified them to still identify them or associate them with the original letter.
The additional information behind 'Pure Prog' have got the following meanings:
12 -> use font-size 12 to see the at original size (although fontstruction says its 16)
5x8 -> capital letters are 5 pixel wide and 8 pixel tall
Pixel -> pixelbased (just consists out of sqaure bricks)
mono -> monospaced/fixed width (every glyph has got the same width)
Compressed -> capital accent characters are compressed to same height as standart onesThis is a clone of PureProg 12 5x8 Pixel mono Dropped
