Hey qole!
Okay, hopefully I can state this correctly so there's no confusion here.
I'm looking for a font that will display 80x24 characters and makes full use of the screen to the exact pixel, or even better yet, 80x24 on a 721x480 screen since I'll be using the virtual Xkbd on the side of the screen.
The closest I have come to this is with the
Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
font, sized 12, but that gets me something like 79x24 2/3rds for rows and columns. So that's not quite the perfect fit for what I'm hoping to find.
But really, anything that has an exact height of 20 pixels (24 rows times 20 pixel height = 480 pixels) would be good enough for me to enjoy.
Does that make any sense now?
And yeah, I've been looking for such a font for the past 3 weeks and have finally taken a break from it all.
I'm not understanding why it's so hard for me to find such a format that seems pretty simple to me.
Well, post back when you have all the answers for me. *lol*
