Semplice Pixelfonts
Joshua Smith (of Hydro74 fame) points us towards Style-Force’s very cool Semplice Pixelfont collection. Interestingly, each zip file contains three different formats of the font: .ttf, .fon and .8.
Seeing the .fon made me recall the old days when I found some DOS-based bitmap font editor and had some fun with it. But what’s a .8 file?

Neat with serif-ish pixelfonts.

what program did you use to create the fonts? then we’ll probably know what .8 files are good for…

Im not sure, I checkout it out on Filext.com and it came back with this.
Whats actually in the .8 file? weird text, perhaps you could post it.

this site would seem to indicate that it has something to do with “The Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF)”.

Hi!
.8 is a BDF (Bitmap Dirstribution Format) file, found on X-window type systems.
