00:11 proller    https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/11843 - i think its ready
22:49 v-rob      https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/11767#issuecomment-989289016 I believe this is somewhat of a game-changer for the necessity of bitmap fonts. It's literally been sitting right underneath our noses.
22:51 sfan5      thats just disabling antialias
22:51 sfan5      question is how does that look like a pixel font like unifont
22:55 rubenwardy I suspect you'll end up with artifacts; you'd need to make sure the font is upsized at integer scale rather than decimal
22:55 rubenwardy ie: 1x  2x  3x  etc
22:57 v-rob      Unifont's default size is 16, right?
22:59 v-rob      See the comment, I edited with some Unifont screenshots.  There are minor artifacts, but it's pretty good at any scale.
22:59 v-rob      TrueType's algorithm for non-anti-aliased fonts is pretty good
23:05 v-rob      Wait, Minetest's definition of a font "point" differs from my OS
23:05 v-rob      A font size of 12 on my OS is 10 pixels tall, but Minetest's version of 12 is 8.
23:59 MTDiscord  <exe_virus> you'll end up with artifacts, but not the end of the world. It's actually literally impossible to properly scale no-anti-aliased fonts perfectly (i.e. artifacts)
