System Font - mspl - 2024-03-13
In order to fulfill my early 2000s nostalgia, I need to 1) make a post here, first, and 2) theme everything and therefore the font on Tangara.

What font are you thinking? We've been using this one so far. It's a good default (looks nice enough, and has great character coverage), but I admit it's not a particularly opinionated-looking font!

I will never stop until I can VGA it all the way up

Hearing Chicago, that sounds good and now that I think about it some more, maybe a DIN variant.

So long as it's a bitmap font, it should look good I think! I tried some antialiased fonts early in development, but it looked bad at small sizes.

Oh, is it capable of displaying antialiased fonts? That's something I'd be very interested in messing around with once I get mine

LVGL can do it! Our screen's relatively large pixel size just makes them look a bit funky is all.
