Poxiao Pixel

PoxiaoPixel

A 12px pan-Unicode pixel font merged from Fairfax, ZLabs Bitmap and Galmuri, formerly code-named FZG. The upstream regular (CN) and Hax builds share the same base glyphs; Hax adds 80 programming-symbol ligature rules. For technical reasons, this site includes only the regular version.

Explore the counts & definitions

The selected CJK total combines the four Han tables, Japanese kana, Hangul syllables and Bopomofo, counting each code point once. Jamo and compatibility Han are listed separately. Kana include historical and extended characters, so this total is not a list of everyday characters.

“Simp Trad Shared” counts Unicode code points shared by the Simplified and Traditional Han reference sets. Shared code points can still have different regional glyph shapes, for example through OpenType locl; coverage does not imply identical glyphs.

Unicode 17. Counts use exact code points, with no variant-form or compatibility normalization. The Han map includes the 12 unified ideographs in the compatibility block; other compatibility ideographs are listed separately. “Only” means absent from the other three reference sets.

Taiwan: the 4,808 common and 6,343 less-common character tables. Mainland China: the 8,105 standard characters in three levels. Japan: the 2,965 JIS X 0208 Level 1 kanji. Korea: the unified Han subset of KS X 1001. Kana, Jamo and Bopomofo use assigned Unicode block characters, including extensions; halfwidth kana are included separately in the kana total.

Files are gzip-compressed; checksums are SHA-256.

One file with every size of this font packed in as bitmap strikes, no vector outlines. Install it and each size is there to use on any system that renders bitmap strikes.

Real outline fonts that draw every lit pixel as a square or a round dot, so they work at any point size. Square keeps the bitmap exactly as drawn; round is the same bitmap read in circles. Only the largest pixel size of each face is offered as a vector font, since outlines scale freely anyway. Faces with very large glyph counts get the square version only.

Use it on a web page

woff2 built from the vector outlines. Set a font size that is a whole multiple of the design size to keep the pixel grid crisp.

SIL OPEN FONT LICENSE

Version 1.1 - 26 February 2007

PREAMBLE

The goals of the Open Font License (OFL) are to stimulate worldwide development of collaborative font projects, to support the font creation efforts of academic and linguistic communities, and to provide a free and open framework in which fonts may be shared and improved in partnership with others.

The OFL allows the licensed fonts to be used, studied, modified and redistributed freely as long as they are not sold by themselves. The fonts, including any derivative works, can be bundled, embedded, redistributed and/or sold with any software provided that any reserved names are not used by derivative works. The fonts and derivatives, however, cannot be released under any other type of license. The requirement for fonts to remain under this license does not apply to any document created using the fonts or their derivatives.

DEFINITIONS

"Font Software" refers to the set of files released by the Copyright Holder(s) under this license and clearly marked as such. This may include source files, build scripts and documentation.

"Reserved Font Name" refers to any names specified as such after the copyright statement(s).

"Original Version" refers to the collection of Font Software components as distributed by the Copyright Holder(s).

"Modified Version" refers to any derivative made by adding to, deleting, or substituting — in part or in whole — any of the components of the Original Version, by changing formats or by porting the Font Software to a new environment.

These can be included either as stand-alone text files, human-readable headers or in the appropriate machine-readable metadata fields within text or binary files as long as those fields can be easily viewed by the user.

3) No Modified Version of the Font Software may use the Reserved Font Name(s) unless explicit written permission is granted by the corresponding Copyright Holder. This restriction only applies to the primary font name as presented to the users.

4) The name(s) of the Copyright Holder(s) or the Author(s) of the Font Software shall not be used to promote, endorse or advertise any Modified Version, except to acknowledge the contribution(s) of the Copyright Holder(s) and the Author(s) or with their explicit written permission.

License notes

Merged from Fairfax, ZLabs Bitmap and Galmuri, all OFL-1.1; the derivative stays under OFL-1.1.

License details are for reference only; the upstream original text prevails.

Build notes

Upstream https://diaowinner.itch.io/poxiaopixel . The page describes it as "a font collection based on Fairfax, ZLabs Bitmap, and Galmuri", with the compilation script forked from ZLabs Bitmap; all three are OFL-1.1 in this catalogue. Private-use areas were remapped: the U+E000 PUA of ZLabs and Galmuri moved to U+10E000, and Powerline symbols returned to their original positions. Rasterised from TTF at its native 12px grid. The bitmap conversion and regenerated downloads do not retain the upstream OpenType substitution rules; use the original upstream files for Hax ligatures and language-specific forms.
