I've only drawn these fonts in one size, more or less 14-pixel height, which is the size I like to use in my browser. I have no immediate plans to draw any other sizes, though you never know. The distribution includes a roman, a bold and an italic, but no bold-italic; all three of these are provided in both ISO-8859-1 Latin-1 and ISO-8859-2 Latin-2 encodings, with diacritics for most European languages (see details of the two encodings).

The letter shapes were drawn with half an eye to Tiro Typeworks' beautiful 1530 Garamond, although I fear they're terribly insulting to that typeface. (If I was a wealthier man with a pressing need for a good quality and not too modern Type-1 Garamond, Tiro would definitely be the first place I'd look.) It's debatable exactly how much of the feel of a Garamond can be conveyed in fonts of this small pixel size, and I'm certainly not a great designer; but they do at least have a bit more character than your average computer-age screen font. And they seem to be quite clear to read. And, well, in the world of X there isn't all that much competition.

If you want to try Bitmap Garamond, download the package. It's free. The distribution is a gzipped tarfile containing roman, bold and italic BDF files, in both encodings, plus a fonts.dir file for your font path and a fonts.alias file. The latter I use to redirect requests for the nonexistent larger- and smaller-sized fonts to a tasteful alternative, in this case B&H Lucida Sans which is generally good for titles and small-print. (I actually use the scalable Adobe Garamond, but you'd normally have to pay for that.) If you're using Netscape
