Description : monospaced fonts inspired by SAA5050 character generator
Bedstead is a family of angular monospaced fonts based on the
characters produced by the Mullard SAA5050 series of Teletext
Character Generators. The SAA5050 fonts were bitmaps, but Bedstead
extends its smoothing algorithm to continuity, producing something
suitable for modern high-resolution displays.
Bedstead includes all the character designs from the SAA5050 and its
various sister chips, including Cyrillic and Hebrew alphabets. It
also has a large number of custom-designed glyphs, all of them of
following the same design rules as the originals.
I am the upstream maintainer and use the font in Debian. Ian Jackson
suggested that I make this package and has offered to sponsor it.
