# scientifica

> Tall and condensed bitmap font for geeks.

`scientifica` is largely based on

[`creep`](https://github.com/romeovs/creep), with a number of

minor tweaks to improve readability (*a matter of taste of

course*). Most characters are just 4px wide, which is brilliant for

low dpi(90-120) displays.

## What's new?

 - Scaleable `ttf` format

 - Raster formats: `otb` and `bdf`

 - Ligatures (vim and neovim only)

 - **Bold** and *Italic* variants

 - New Characters to the following unicode blocks:

   * Geometric Shapes

   * Arrows

   * Miscellaneous Technical

   * Miscellaneous Symbols

   * Miscellaneous Mathematical Symbols-A

   * Private Use Area (Powerline symbols)

   * Mathematical Operators

   * Box Drawings

 - Revamped characters: `V, *, f, W, M, ~, & , i, t, a, (), [], {}`

 - Vertically centered operators

 - Larger Brackets to ease recognizability in streams of text

## Installation

Installation instructions have been moved to

[`INSTALL.md`](INSTALL.md).

## Ligatures

Scientifica supports ligatures in Vim and Neovim via the

conceal feature. Please read the

[Ligatures](ligature_plugins/README.md)

manual for instructions.

## Credits

Most Basic Latin characters are from

[creep](https://github.com/romeovs/creep) by

[romeovs](https://github.com/romeovs/).  

Creep has been optimized for linux terminals by

[raymond-w-ko](https://github.com/raymond-w-ko/). Check out

his version [here](https://github.com/raymond-w-ko/creep2).  

Some characters are based on

[Lemon](http://artwizaleczapka.sourceforge.net/).
