Tamzen is a bitmapped monospace programming font, programmatically forked from the Tamsyn font with backported glyphs and Powerline symbol variants. It ships in multiple sizes as BDF/PCF fonts for terminals and console use.
Use cases
- find a bitmap monospace font for my terminal
- use a programming font in the Linux console VT
- get a font with Powerline symbols for my status bar
- use a crisp pixel font in XTerm or URxvt
- configure a bitmap font in WezTerm
When to choose
- you want a small, sharp bitmap font for terminals, editors, or the Linux console
- you need Powerline glyphs baked into a bitmap font
- you prefer pixel-perfect fonts over scalable fonts at small sizes
When to avoid
- you need a scalable (TrueType/OpenType) font
- you need wide Unicode coverage beyond the bitmap glyphs provided
- you need a font for high-DPI displays where bitmap fonts look poor
