Monospaced bitmap programmer’s font at big sizes (14pt+) [closed]

Monospaced bitmap programmer’s font at big sizes (14pt+) [closed]

I would really like to try bitmapped font - like, proggy - but I always use 14pt or bigger fonts. Is there any monospaced bitmapped font of that size? I couldn't find any. Seems like programmers have good eyes... unlike me.

"See the following bitmapped fonts:

Proggy Fonts
Dina Programming Font
PixelCarnage
Terminus font

Keep in mind that bitmap fonts are very precise but don't scale."

"I'm with @amrox, do you actually need a bitmap font, or just a fixed width font? some of the complete typefaces are nice just for their italics (because faux-italics suck). Many of the fonts below look best with sub-pixel rendering enabled.

Anonymous - TT version of a bitmap font
Inconsolata - knockoff of MS Consolas, Inconsolata doesn't have great italics
Consolas - also nice, complete typeface with bolds and italics
Droid Sans Mono - Very nice, lacks a slashed 0 and you have to get it sneakily
Deja Vu Sans Mono - Open-sauce reasonable, default GNOME fixed width, I think.
Liberation Sans - Nice, also open-sauce, made by the same font designer as Droid font
BP Mono - Free, missing many glyphs
Monaco - Available in OSX
Andale Mono - was part of IE 5, also in OS X, part of Core Font pack"
