Hexin Pixel Font (核心像素体) is a 12x8 pixel (bitmap) font for mainly Simplified Chinese. This repo contains the source of the font, along with some building scripts. The pre-built font files is released at the Releases page.
The word "Hexin" goes to a supervillain's name in a Chinese TV series called 开心超人联盟.
Hexin Pixel Font's glyphs is based on Num Kadoma's k12x8, which is licensed under the old, public-domain-equivalent M+ license.
The font is under the SIL OFL 1.1, the scripts are under the 3-Clause BSD license. See LICENSE.md for more details.
Under construction: some chars are auto-generated and look ugly (or incorrect). You can create a [Codeberg issue] or discuss on itch.io (coming soon) to let me know!
After you installed dependencies, run this command:
python -m hexin_pixel_font <command>
The <command> argument can be clean or build.
Thanks the original project k12x8 and its author Num Kadoma.
Thanks @TakWolf on GitHub, which developed the pixel_font_builder library (used for generating fonts), and Fusion Pixel Font (the reference of the glyphs' style).
I will also credit BMC, which is a specific 8x8 OFL-licensed pixel font.
