This is cool, but my problem is the opposite: I have a modern laptop screen with tiny pixels. What I need is then a huge bitmap font... does anybody have any?

Here are a few made by upscaling and then manually cleaning up classic fonts: https://github.com/B2HDPI/B2HDPI

The glyph coverage is enough for most programming languages; missing glyphs just fall back to a pixelized look.

Lode 1.5x works really well at 110 ppi displays, which seems to be the uncanny valley for antialiasing.

Why a bitmap font if you have tiny pixels? Just use a sharp font like Iosevka or similar.
i want all occurrences of the same glyph to be identical. This is essentially impossible to obtain with blurry "antialiased" fonts.
