Subject: Re: [Fairlight-CMI] Fairlight fonts

 






I wrote a BASIC program to create those screen mock ups, so the font I 
used was whatever was available in the BASIC interpreter. (At least 
that's what I remember...)

The CMI screen resolution was 512 wide by 256 high. That vertical 
resolution looked OK on the CMI monitor, which stretched the image 
vertically, but not so good on a web page (modern monitors use square 
pixels). So I went with 512x432, because it looked "about right". Of 
course, this decision meant that some of the more graphical screens 
would not be exact representations of the CMI, but they would at least 
capture the spirit.

The CMI font is in a small grid. I think it was 6x7 dots in an 8x8 
space. The larger characters on the CMI (e.g. the "4/4" on Page R) are 
simply the standard characters made double-high. There was a built-in 
routine in the CMI software to display those characters. (I wrote one 
into my BASIC program.)

There should be a few "pixel" fonts available in TTF format, since the 
lo-tech look is popular. "Small Fonts" is one, although it is not 
fixed-pitch.
