Crate noto_sans_mono_bitmap

source ·
Expand description

Provides pre-rasterized characters from the “Noto Sans Mono” font in different sizes and font weights for multiple unicode ranges. This crate is no_std and needs no allocations or floating point operations. Useful in kernels and bootloaders when only “soft-float” is available. Strictly speaking, this crate is more than a basic bitmap font, because it encodes each pixel as a byte and not as a bit, which results in a much nicer result on the screen.

§TL;DR

  • ✅ no_std, zero allocations, no floating point operations
  • ✅ most important symbols, numbers, and letters as pre-rasterized constant. Unicode-ranges are selectable.
  • ✅ Noto Sans Mono font as base
  • ✅ different sizes and font weights (light, normal, bold)
  • ✅ nice anti-aliasing/smoothing and better looking than legacy bitmap fonts
  • ✅ every pixel is encoded in a byte (0-255) and not a bit, which results in a much nicer result on the screen.
  • ✅ relevant font sizes, such as 14, 18, 22, and 32px (as optional build time features)
  • ✅ zero dependencies
  • ✅ All characters are aligned in their box/raster. If they are printed next to each other, the result looks nice.

Structs§

  • RasterizedChar
    Describes the relevant information for a rendered char of the font.

Enums§

  • FontWeight
    Supported font weights.
  • RasterHeight
    The height of the pre-rasterized font. The font size will be a a few percent less, because each letter contains vertical padding for proper alignment of chars (i.e. ÄyA). The width of each character will be also less than the height, because there is no horizontal padding included.
