"github_readme_excerpt": "\n\nGreybeard is a chunky monospaced bitmap programming font for all you pixel-perfect nerds who don\u0027t like eyestrain. It\u0027s mostly a vector port of [UW ttyp0](http://people.mpi-inf.mpg.de/~uwe/misc/uw-ttyp0/) with a few tweaks.\n\nIt covers most of the Latin and Cyrillic alphabet, Greek, Armenian, Georgian (only Mkhedruli), Hebrew (without cantillation marks), Thai, most of IPA (but no UPA), standard punctuation, common symbols, some mathematics, line graphics and a few dingbats (about 3000 Unicode characters).\n\nIt is provided as rendered outline fonts in the following pixel sizes: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 22. Each of these has a bold variant, and italic variants are provided in 15, 16, 17 and 18. Additionally, all fonts with an italic variant have an *experimental* auto-generated bold-italic variant, though mileage with these may vary.\n\nIt is named after those mythical sysops, staring at white on blue Borland compilers late into the night. Some say they stare still...\n\n# Samples\n\n\n\n# Installation\n\nFont files can be downloaded from the [releases page](https://github.com/flowchartsman/greybeard/releases)\n\n# Usage\n\nGreybeard is split into multiple separate fonts named with the point size they are intended to be rendered at for pixel-perfect display. To use it, install the variant you like, and then set the font size of your editor or terminal to match. For example, if you like the 18px size, install `Greybeard-18px*.ttf` and set the size to `18pt` in your application. Because of the way the outlines are generated, multiples should work as well.\n\nFor code editors you may need to set an explicit line height as well, to keep the spacing sane. For example, setting the line height to around `1` in VSCode seems to work well.\n\nThe reason the font is split up into different sizes is because Windows [kind of a jerk](http://www.electronicdissonance.com/2010/01/raster-fonts-in-visual-studio-2010.html) about bi",
