This is a simple 32x32 bitmap font I made as a byproduct of messing about with Xlib. Because of its a power of 2 sizing, it should be able to be resized easily, even if you're writting your own render.
font.png is a screenshot of the output of my rendering text using font.c.
font.zip contains font.c, which is just a C array of 64bit unsigned integers, these are the original bitmaps for the 8x8 font which I resized 4x to get font.png.
Note the font.c is licensed GPLv3 or later only, the font.png is also licensed GPLv2 and CC-BY-SA.

Comments
I used to make bitmap fonts when I was a teenager and too tired to do anything, but not tired enough to sleep. I always did the extended ASCII with the graphical set, lines and double-lines, etc. Maybe I should go nostalgic some night and submit a font or two.
Thanks for sharing. :-)
