Description : Pretty sweet 4px wide pixel font
The 'creep' font is a pretty compact font that is only 4 pixels wide. It is
great for smaller screens, in order to be able to maintain high text density
on screens reported as small as 11 inches in diagonal.
.
Box drawing
.
Creep has most of the basic box drawing characters implemented. Therefore
creep usually works with most ncurses-type programs or with tmux
window-splitting for example.
.
Powerline
.
Creep supports all the symbols needed for Lokaltog's awesome powerline plugin
for vim.
.
Sparklines
.
Creep has the necessary symbols for creating sparklines. This is cool for
tools like rainbarf and others.
.
Better Haskell syntax
.
This font contains characters that can be used to pretty-print Haskell
symbols, like '>>='.
.
Braille and Drawille
.
Creep now supports the full braille alphabet, which was an easy thing to do
because of the clever braille encoding scheme. All of the braille characters
are simply generated using a little script.
I intent to maintain this package under the Debian Fonts Team. This
package is introduced because my previous attempt using a fork
(fonts-creep2) seems to not work correctly, so I am packaging the
original.
