If you program a lot or otherwise work a lot in front your computer you need a lot of screenspace. Or you use a small font.

Based on the work of others I designed a small bitmap font notix_mp, (reencoded for unicode, created bold and italic version, modified and repainted some glyphs, ...). The font is licenced under the GPL. If you enhance this font I'd be happy about a message from you.

There is also a vectorized version available, called motix. Its main purpose is not scalability (it is still designed for a fixed and small pixel size) but subpixel rendering or at least anti-aliasing. Both features can not easily be achieved with a bitmap version, so I decided to redraw the whole font set using vectors.

I completely redesigned motix to be zoomable. The new version is called Motix_Round.

Motix_Round

Get Motix_Round. Motix_Round looks similar to motix in low zoom levels, but is usable at higher magnifications too.

motix

For a comparison between motix and notix_mp see here. Subpixel rendering is especially helpful for the italic versions, of course. motix also has some more glyphs.

For creating and modifying I used xmbdfed, FontForge, ucs2any and xemacs.
