BitScript is a low-resolution font, which attempts to imitate handwriting while keeping a level of readability on low-res displays.

It is a decorative font, and is not intended for large amounts of text (it isn't so pleasant to read texts in normal low-res fonts, and using a cursive one would only make it even harder).

It is available in the PNG bitmap font format used by the Grafx2 image editor -- a free (GPL) program for editing pixel art, available for all modern OSes, as well as MS Windows. To install the font, put the PNG into the appropriate fonts subdir -- which is /usr/share/grafx2/fonts on *NIX OS'es (or /usr/local/share/... if you have a manually-compiled version) and <Grafx2 install dir>\share\grafx2\fonts on Windows.

Revision 2: changed the lowercase k (it was a bit too high).

This looks like it could be useful as a true type font. Would anyone want to use it if I made it into a TTF?
