@lafp oh yeah, just whatever works at multiple sizes and looks pixel-perfect. windows 98 could do it, i'm surprised linux (today) can't
so much for making old hardware usable again! (big fonts on 1024x768 are a pain)
@lafp ohh these are cool!
i think what i mean by "bitmap fonts" though is more "ttf that has pixel hinting so i can use it without antialiasing" - something that modern linux seems to no longer support or care about (if i try to force antialiasing off everything looks broken regardless of if the font has proper hinting)

i just keep getting reminded of that every time i try to recreationally use linux on old computers and it does not convince me to ever drop windows as a daily driver
@eblu unserious operating system lol
@eblu file-roller nautilus and gstreamer are still there after --no-install-recommends
file-roller?? nautilus??? i just want one single damn font viewer why doesn't linux just have this built in why do i need to install a midi converter to view fonts what the fuck
