This is a simple 32x32 bitmap font I made as a byproduct of messing about with Xlib. Because of its a power of 2 sizing, it should be able to be resized easily, even if you're writting your own render.

font.png is a screenshot of the output of my rendering text using font.c.
font.zip contains font.c, which is just a C array of 64bit unsigned integers, these are the original bitmaps for the 8x8 font which I resized 4x to get font.png.

Note the font.c is licensed GPLv3 or later only, the font.png is also licensed GPLv2 and CC-BY-SA.

I used to make bitmap fonts when I was a teenager and too tired to do anything, but not tired enough to sleep. I always did the extended ASCII with the graphical set, lines and double-lines, etc. Maybe I should go nostalgic some night and submit a font or two.

Thanks for sharing. :-)

BEWARE! THIS IMAGE IS NOT ASCII! Half of the characters are off-by-one!

Despite this image being the #1 Google Image result for "8x8 ascii", it has a bug. I tore my hair out for 30 minutes.

For reference, here's an 8x8 ASCII that doesn't have this bug: https://dragon.style/@dodec/100218699356979811

Hehe, I fixed the character order.
But be warned, the alignment is also off.
