autonoe, version 003

files

The download link gets you a tarballed autonoe. It contains a .bdf, a .sfd, and a .pcf.gz file. The first two are “source” files that you can modify and compile to your liking. The last is the actual font file that you’ll want to install, assuming you’re in an X.Org environment.

about

autonoe is a fixed-width, 7x14, bold-only, unicode, bitmap typeface.

Furthermore, the font …:

• Has an xlfd of -agaric-autonoe-bold-r-normal--14-100-96-96-m-70-iso10646-1.
• Is basically fixed-7x14b with a few modifications.
• Primarily targets shell use.
• Is named after the Bacchic mythological character, whose sister, Agave, happens to share a name with a font I started designing earlier. Besides the name, there is no relation between the two fonts. I like superficial coherence, that’s all.
