Add CG Pixel Mono fonts. (#73)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This commit adds two variants of the CG Pixel Mono fonts discovered from
[this
thread](https://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/91478/a-font-thats-readable-with-a-5px-height).
They are both licensed under a Creative Commons CC0 Public Domain
Dedication license (http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/).

In order to convert them from TTF, I used FontForge and set the pixel
height to 5 and exported as a BDF.

A very tiny, monospace, bitmap font. It's a 4x6 font (3x5 usable pixels) that's
great for packing in information on your display.

This font is great for a really tiny font that also supports upper and lower
cased characters.

This font is a true 3x5 font which only occupies 5 pixels on a display. Check
out the 4x5 version if you have the width to spare.
