artwiz fonts refers to a set of fonts originally created by Youngjin Hahn, an artist who was involved in the Free Software community and went by the alias "artwiz". Described as "very small futuristic ASCII fonts for X", they are bitmap fonts, with varying styles of typefaces designed at a single pixel size. The fonts were incorporated as screen fonts in themes for the Blackbox and Fluxbox window managers. Fonts This is the list of fonts originally released: * Anorexia (9x11 variable width) * Aqui (12x13 variable width) * Cure (6x10 fixed width) * Drift (6x11 fixed width) * Edges (5x10 fixed width) * Gelly (9x10 variable width) * Glisp-bold (10x11 variable width) * Glisp (9x11 variable width) * Kates (7x14 fixed width) * Lime (5x10 fixed width) * Mints-mild (9x9 variable width) * Mints-strong (9x9 variable width) * Nu (7x9 variable width) * Smoothansi (6x13 fixed width) * Snap (9x10 variable width) Continued use The minimalist nature of the fonts makes them popular with users of lightweight window managers. Alec Zapka has updated the fonts to be compatible with modern software and support an extended character set.
