| | Encyclopedia: Bitmap font |
 | | A bitmap font is one that stores each glyph as an array of pixels (that is, a bitmap). | | | A "trace" program can follow the outline of a high-resolution bitmap font and create an initial outline that a font designer uses to create an outline font useful in systems such as PostScript or TrueType. | | | TrueType is an outline font standard originally developed by Apple Computer in the late 1980s as a competitor to Adobes Type 1 fonts used in PostScript. |

| | The TrueType Font File |
| | Apple makes a distinction between a "TrueType font" (which refers to a particular font outline definition technology) and an "sfnt-housed font," which refers to any font which uses the same packaging format as a TrueType font: that is, it uses the same directory structure and the same table format and meaning for any tables present. | | | The font directory, the first of the tables, is a guide to the contents of the font file. | | | The first of the tables is the font directory, a special table that facilitates access to the other tables in the font. |

| | I found no way to convert Macintosh or Windows bitmap fonts to the Atari.fnt font file format (and yes, there are still Atarians working with much better software than you'll probably guess), but I found a font called ProFontJB, made by Jens Brüggemann, which comes close. | | | ProFont is a small bitmap font which is absolutely great for programming. | | | In my opinion, bitmap fonts work better at this job than outlined fonts (such as TrueType or Type1). |
